Viability of homologous and heterologous subcutaneous transplantation of fresh germ cells in rabbits.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare heterologous to homologous transplantation of fresh ovarian germ cells in rabbits.
methodsTwelve female white New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were randomly numbered and submitted to bilateral oophorectomies. The ovaries from the six odd-numbered rabbits were dissected and cortical germinal tissue was digested in collagenase type 1 to obtain six solutions containing stromal and germ cells, which were injected in the abdominal region of the odd-numbered rabbits themselves (homologous transplantation) and of the even-numbered rabbits (heterologous transplantation) off immunosuppression. Sixty days after transplantation, the tissue around the transplanted region was excised, processed and sent to histological analysis with hematoxylin-eosin staining and Bcl-2 immunohistochemistry to verify the presence and viability of the transplanted cells.
resultsThe analyzed specimens contained ovarian stroma, while follicular cells were found in 66.6% of the homologous and in 60% of the heterologous transplant specimens. Mild inflammatory reaction was observed in all heterologous specimens, and in only one (16.7%) of the homologous specimens. However, this inflammatory reaction was not so intense as to cause the death of the implanted cells. Except for the specimens from rabbits 7 and 8, all specimens were stained for Bcl-2, indicating that most of them were viable.
conclusionsThe results of this study supported the viability of heterologous transplantation of fresh ovarian germ cells. However, more studies are required to further our understanding and improve the germ cell separation technique.
