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
Introduction: Vitrification may induce oxidative damage, mitigating cryodamage is crucial for preserving follicular development and ovarian function. Alpha lipoic acid (α-ALA) is an antioxidant which exerts its antioxidant activity directly or indirectly. Methods: In this study, we established a α-ALA concentration gradients (0, 100, and 150 μM) in the vitrification solution, assessed follicular abnormalities through hematoxylin and eosin (HE), analyzed cell apoptosis via TUNEL staining analysis, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Masson staining, explored differential genes by transcriptome sequencing. Results: Our findings revealed that α-ALA alleviated oxidative stress damage and decreased follicular abnormalities induced by vitrification, enhanced antioxidant capacity and delayed the onset of fibrosis during in vitro culture. Moreover, our analysis revealed the effects of α-ALA on vitrification at the transcriptomic level. Discussion: In this study, we focused on the anti-apoptotic effects of α-ALA in cat ovarian cortex vitrification, and concluded that α-ALA effectively mitigates vitrification correlated ovarian functional impairment.
