Incorporation of lipids improves cryo-tolerance of vitrified gorgonian coral oocytes.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Coral reefs, which are crucial to the health and diversity of the global marine ecosystem, have experienced substantial declines due to climate change and human activities. Cryopreservation, the long-term storage of biological material at ultra-low temperatures, represents a novel strategy for coral conservation. The current study investigated the effects of integrating specific liposomes into vitrification solutions (VS) on the viability of oocytes from two coral species, oocytes were vitrified using a VS containing one of eight lipids. The study results indicate that incorporating PE and erucic acid considerably enhances the viability of J. juncea oocytes, whereas incorporating PC reduces their viability. However, incorporating palmitoleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, linoleic acid, and eicosatrienoic acid did not substantially affect the viability of J. juncea oocytes. In J. fragilis, erucic acid yielded the highest viability (54.12% ± 2.99%), with oleic acid and docosahexaenoic acid also showing positive effects. Among the tested liposomes, erucic acid led to the highest overall viability in both species. Lipid-enhanced vitrification can assist coral conservation by facilitating cryobanking of coral gametes and supporting their postthaw development, which can assist with coral reef restoration.
