A group-housing system for an artificial shark uterus.
Article in MethodsX, 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
We developed an artificial shark uterus system that enables the simultaneous maintenance of multiple embryos within a single container. In previous designs, group housing of late-stage embryos was unsuccessful because the activation of one embryo stimulated others, triggering collective hyperactivity. This led to severe skin abrasions due to repeated contact with the rubber mesh covering the container opening. The key modifications and functional principle of the new system are as follows:•The rubber mesh was eliminated and replaced with an acrylic cylinder that provides vertical space above the incubation container.•This vertical space allows activated embryos to swim upward, reducing physical contact between active and inactive individuals.This method increases incubation density and broadens the applicability of artificial uterine technology to shark species with high fecundity.
