The Presence and Size of the Corpus Luteum Influence the In Vitro Production of Sheep Embryos.

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.
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
The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient gland that can directly influence follicular dynamics and oocyte quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the absence or presence of a small (≤3 mm), medium (4-8 mm), or large (>8 mm) CL in slaughterhouse ovaries on in vitro embryo production. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from each group of ovaries and matured in TCM-199 medium, plus hormones and fetal bovine serum. Fertilization was performed with fresh semen from a Katahdin ram of known fertility. Embryo development was carried out in commercial sequential media for 72 and 96 h, until the blastocyst stage. The number of follicles (2-6 mm in diameter) and COCs were influenced by the presence of CL, which was higher (
