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

objectiveSuperovulation protocol modifies the oviductal site-specific expression of some proteins regulating cell cycle and oxidative stress response.

methodsSwiss CD1 female mice (n=24) were sorted into 2 groups: one was used as control (Ctr, n=10), the other consisted of mice undergoing 8 Rounds (8R) of repeated gonadotropin stimulation (n=14). After their removal, oviducts were cut into two portions: one including Infundibulum and Ampulla (If-Am), and the rest including Isthmus (Is). Both portions were separately used to assess the expression levels of oviductal proteins regulating cell cycle and oxidative stress response. Statistical analysis employed t-test with significance at p<0.05.

resultsIn Ctr mice, superoxide dismutases 1 and 2 were significantly more expressed in the If-Am, while phospho-p53, glutathione peroxidase 1 and estrogen receptor beta mainly in the Is. Conversely, catalase, cleaved-caspase 3, estrogen alpha and progesterone receptors were similarly distributed across the oviduct. After 8R, glutathione peroxidase 1 and superoxide dismutase 1 increased in both segments, superoxide dismutase 2 and cleaved-caspase 3 increased mainly in If-Am, while catalase and phosphorylated p53 mainly in Is. Estrogen alpha/beta and progesterone receptors levels remained unchanged.

conclusionsAltogether, these results demonstrated that in the mouse oviduct many proteins were expressed in a site-specific manner and that repeated gonadotropin stimulation could modulate their expression levels. These data suggest that different localization of proteins between Infundibulum-Ampulla and Isthmus regions is fundamental for creating a suitable microenvironment for embryo development.
