1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Genomic instability is a significant challenge in early mammalian development and a cause for developmental failure and abnormalities, particularly in humans. Here, we review our knowledge and explore its significance of genome instability in early embryos across multiple mammalian species, including humans, rhesus macaques, mice, bovines, equines, and porcine. All these species but mice share one feature: frequent chromosomal aberrations, aneuploidy, and developmental failure. We discuss the impact of genome instability on embryonic development, the applicability of gene editing using Cas9, and potential evolutionary implications. We also explore the role of germ cell and early embryo mutations and the bottleneck effect in mammals in comparison to lower vertebrates. Understanding genome stability in mammalian embryos can contribute to our understanding of genetic variation in development and evolution.
