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

Background: Methods: Two-cell stage embryos were obtained by mating ICR female mice with ICR male mice, followed by oviduct flushing. The recovered embryos were cultured Results: We found that low concentration CQ significantly reduced developmental rate and total cell count in a CQ concentration-dependent manner (control: 67 ± 2.5 vs. 48 ± 2.3 with 1.0 µM CQ vs. 37 ± 2.9 with 2.0 µM CQ), as well as the numbers of trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM) cells. These results suggest that low concentration CQ treatment may suppress cell proliferation likely by inhibiting nutrient supply via autophagy. Notably, after implantation, the 2.0 µM CQ-treated group exhibited increased pups rate and reduced body weight comparable to the naturally mated group, and glucose tolerance similar to that of the naturally mated group, in contrasted to the untreated group. Discussion: These findings suggest that inhibiting autophagy during preimplantation development may mitigate the long-term effects of
