Advances in supplementation strategies for enhancing bovine in vitro embryo production: a review of growth factors and antioxidants.
Review in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The optimization of bovine embryo culture media is crucial for enhancing reproductive efficiency in livestock production. This comprehensive review evaluates the efficacy of specific growth factors and antioxidants used in bovine embryo culture, focusing on their impact on embryo development and viability. Bovine embryos are pivotal in agricultural practices, and the quality of embryo culture significantly influences pregnancy rates and overall herd productivity. This review synthesizes current research on the molecular mechanisms by which these supplements promote optimal embryo development, including pathways regulating cell proliferation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Practical implications for practitioners in bovine reproduction are outlined, with guidance on supplement concentrations, timing of administration, and formulation strategies to enhance embryo quality and increase pregnancy success. Furthermore, the review identifies gaps in current research and suggests future directions, such as exploring synergistic combinations of supplements, optimizing dose-response strategies, and assessing long-term effects post-transfer. In conclusion, optimizing culture media through the strategic use of growth factors and antioxidants is essential for advancing bovine reproductive technologies. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to improve the consistency and effectiveness of bovine in vitro embryo production, ultimately contributing to enhanced livestock productivity and sustainability.
