ATM/p53-Associated Apoptosis Contributes to Sterility in Allotriploid Crucian Carp.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
During meiosis, ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase senses DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and regulates multiple downstream processes, including DSB repair and p53-mediated apoptosis. The allotriploid crucian carp (3nAT, 3n = 150), derived from distant hybridization between female diploid red crucian carp (2nRCC) and male allotetraploid hybrids (4nAT), is sterile and exhibits extensive germ cell apoptosis associated with abnormal meiosis. Here, we used the ATM kinase inhibitor KU55933, to investigate the sterility mechanism. Following intraperitoneal treatment with KU55933 (KU-3nAT), germ cell apoptosis was markedly reduced, and a small number of morphologically abnormal gametes were produced. Meiosis- and gamete maturation-related genes were upregulated, whereas pro-apoptotic genes were downregulated, indicating that meiotic arrest was partially attenuated. However, KU-3nAT sperm exhibited abnormal structures with rounded heads, retained cytoplasm, and absent or malformed flagella. Self-crossed and hybrid embryos with 2nRCC arrested at gastrulation, while a few KU-3nAT ♀ × 4nAT ♂ embryos hatched. These results suggest that ATM/p53-associated apoptosis contributes to germ cell loss at the proposed pachytene checkpoint in 3nAT, while ATM inhibition permits limited gamete production but does not restore normal gamete function or embryonic development.
