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

Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is a novel approach to fluorophore-free 3D live imaging of cells, particularly mammalian oocytes and embryos. It allows for 3D high-resolution visualization of the intracellular architecture: nuclei with nucleoli, metaphase spindles, and networks of membranous structures. Moreover, as it is compatible with time-lapse imaging, it enables monitoring and quantitative analysis of the dynamic behavior of these organelles over time. Importantly, OCM, when imaging settings are properly optimized, is safe for oocytes and embryos and does not negatively affect their developmental capabilities. Therefore, OCM is an interesting alternative to currently used imaging techniques, not only in basic research but also in clinical applications. In the present chapter, we describe the main principles of spectral OCM and show how this technique can be applied to visualize mouse oocytes.
