Embryo transfer following IVF alters susceptibility to metabolic phenotypes in male mouse offspring compared to naturally conceived offspring.

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
Lay summary: The aim of this study is to highlight potential differences between embryos conceived naturally and those conceived via in vitro fertilisation (IVF). While the current scientific literature generally assumes that differences between these two modes of conception exist, many studies do not provide detailed phenotypic data, e.g. bodyweight, blood glucose and other observational metabolic health parameters. In addition, comparisons are often complicated by variations in choosing different strains of foster mothers to carry embryos. By addressing these limitations, our short summary and overview provide a well-defined comparison within a controlled experimental setup including a high-fat diet feeding period as metabolic challenge. We make the resulting data publicly available to offer a reference point for researchers using a specific mouse strain as fosters and to improve transparency regarding the specific differences in metabolic health observed between natural conception and IVF in this context.
