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

Objective: To determine whether cumulus expansion and oocyte aneuploidy differ across the pubertal transition in a murine model designed to approximate clinical assisted reproductive technology (ART) conditions. Methods: Controlled experimental animal study using prepubertal (D16-25), peripubertal (D26-35), and reproductively young adult CD-1 female mice (9 and 12 weeks old). Mice underwent gonadotropin stimulation to model controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected following in vivo maturation prior to ovulation or assessed before and after in vitro maturation (IVM). Main outcome measures included COC surface area, cumulus cell layer thickness, oocyte spindle configuration, chromosome alignment, and aneuploidy rates. Results: Following in vivo maturation, COC surface area (1505 ± 151.4 μm Conclusion: In this murine model, markers of oocyte competence, including cumulus expansion, meiotic integrity, and aneuploidy rates, were largely preserved across the pubertal transition, highlighting translational limitations of mice for modeling human adolescent ovarian biology.
