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

purposeThis study evaluated the effects of decellularized ovarian bioscaffolds and resveratrol-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (RLPN) on the in vitro culture, viability, and ultrastructural preservation of bovine secondary follicles.

methodsDecellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) from cortical fragments was obtained by freeze-thaw cycles and sequential incubation in Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Decellularization efficiency and extracellular matrix integrity were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin, Hoechst staining, scanning electron microscopy, and quantification of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Bovine secondary follicles were isolated and cultured for 12 days in either a two-dimensional (2D) system or in dECM scaffolds in medium supplemented with 0.02, 0.2, or 2.0 µM RLNP, blank nanoparticles, or unencapsulated resveratrol. Follicular viability and ultrastructure were evaluated by calcein-AM/ethidium homodimer-1 staining and transmission electron microscopy. Expression of mRNA for catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase 1, peroxiredoxin 6, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 was assessed by qRT-PCR. Quantitative data were analyzed by unpaired t-tests or one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test (P < 0.05).

resultsHematoxylin-eosin and Hoechst staining confirmed effective cell removal, while collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and ECM ultrastructure were preserved. Follicles cultured in the three-dimensional (3D) system showed increased viability, further enhanced by 0.02 or 2.00 µM RLPN. Follicles cultured with 0.02 µM RLPN exhibited well-preserved morphology, including intact zona pellucida, oocyte membrane, and organelles. qRT-PCR analysis revealed reduced mRNA expression of antioxidant-related genes in follicles cultured with RLNP.

conclusionThe decellularization protocol effectively removed cellular content and preserved ECM structure and ultrastructure. 3D culture system combined with supplementation of 0.02 µM RLNP supported follicular viability and ultrastructural preservation and was associated with transcriptional changes in antioxidant-related genes.
