Lethal toxicity of metformin on zebrafish during early embryonic development by multi-omics analysis.

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
Metformin is an antidiabetic drug used in type 2 diabetes as well as indicators in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and cancer. Due to their increase in popularity, high amounts of metformin are being released into aquatic environments. However, the toxic effect of metformin on embryonic development in aquatic organisms remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the lethal embryotoxicity of metformin and determine the underlying molecular pathways influencing embryonic development using a zebrafish model through multi-omics analysis. Metformin was microinjected into zebrafish embryos at the 1-cell stage with varying concentrations (50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, 400 mM, and 800 mM). From the results, hatching rates decreased in a dose dependent manner. Fetal malformation and mortality (LC
