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
objectiveToday, researchers have succeeded in achieving oocyte-like cells through the in vitro differentiation of stem cells. MicroRNAs are key regulators of oocyte development. In this study we decided to evaluate the expression pattern of microRNA-21, microRNA-15a, and microRNA-372 in oocyte-like cells, to determine the maturation stage of oocyte-like cells.
methodsHuman follicular fluid samples were collected and centrifuged, and their cells were divided into 3 groups; day 7 as control group, days 14 and 21. During this period, the cells were evaluated for their morphological appearance and viability by inverted microscopy. RNA isolation was performed and cDNA was reversely transcribed by specific stem-loop RT primers. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect microRNA expression.
resultsThe relative expression of microRNA-21 and microRNA-15a on day 21 was significantly down-regulated compared to the control group (day 7), but microRNA-372 did not show a significant difference. Also, on day 14 compared to the control group (day 7), microRNA-21 did not show a significant difference; but microRNA-15a and microRNA-372 were significantly down-regulated. MicroRNA-21 and microRNA-15a on day 21 compared to day 14 revealed down-regulated levels, but microRNA-372 revealed up-regulated levels.
conclusionsOur results showed significant decreases in the expression of microRNA-21 and microRNA-15a in oocyte-like cells, as well as in oocytes, which may lead to cytoplasmic maturation, germinal vesicle break down and the completion of meiosis І. In addition, down-regulation expression of microRNA-372 maybe a confirmation that mesenchymal stem cells have differentiated into germ cells, and these cells were differentiated into oocyte-like cells.
