Article in Animal bioscience, 2025. 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
objectiveOocyte quality is critical for the stable transmission of genetic information and affects early embryonic development. But the precise mechanisms governing oocyte meiotic progression remains largely unclear. Transcription regulation through chromatin compaction and decompaction is regulated through various chromatin-remodeling complexes such as nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation (NuRD) complex. GATAD2B is known to be a component of the NuRD complex but whether GATAD2B regulates chromatin modification in mouse oocyte meiosis remains unclear. We hope to explore the role of GATAD2B in mouse oocyte meiosis.
methodsIn this study, we initially utilized western blot and immunofluorescence to delineate the expression and subcellular localization of GATAD2B during oocyte meiotic maturation. To further elucidate the role of GATAD2B in regulating oocyte meiotic division, we employed the method of microinjection of Gatad2b-specific siRNA to knock down the protein expression of GATAD2B. Subsequently, dynamic changes in oocyte meiotic division were captured in real-time using live-cell imaging with Geri. Additionally, spindle staining, DNA staining, spread analysis, and reanalysis of RNA-seq data were performed to investigate the mechanisms through which GATAD2B regulates oocyte meiotic division.
resultsGATAD2B was stably expressed during oocyte meiosis and was significantly increased during the metaphase II (MII) stage. To further explore the effect of GATAD2B on oocyte meiotic maturation, we observed increased abnormal spindle, severe chromosome misalignment and metaphase I (MI) block in GATAD2B knocked-down (GATAD2B-KD) oocytes. Interestingly, the distribution of microtubule organizing center was abnormal and aneuploidy was significantly increased in GATAD2B-KD oocytes. In addition, some deacetylation-related genes were significantly downregulated and acetylated proteins accumulated abnormally in GATAD2B-KD oocytes.
conclusionThese findings implicate GATAD2B as a novel regulator of histone deacetylation during oocyte maturation and provide evidence that such deacetylation is required for proper spindle assembly.
