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

Sheep somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is widely used in both agricultural and biomedical research, especially for generating animal models of human disease. Here, we present the most accessible method of sheep oocyte collection for use in subsequent SCNT, using commercial in vitro maturation and culture media to increase SCNT efficiency. We describe a detailed procedure of sheep SCNT and SCNT animal production, as well as outline two methods to determine embryo quality: in vitro culture until blastocyst formation and blastocyst inner cell mass and trophectoderm cell staining.
