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

The summary included in the text: Zebrafish are an increasingly popular model for studying the genetic and environmental factors that shape male and female fertility; however, the field currently lacks a standardized approach to fertility assessment. The current lack of consensus makes comparisons across studies more challenging and is an obstacle to reproducibility in the fields of reproductive biology and toxicology. Here, we review the diversity of spawning approaches used in zebrafish reproductive toxicology research to asses fertility and provide evidence that spawning parameters can result in meaningful differences in egg production and spawning success.
