Kisspeptins in human reproduction-future therapeutic potential.
Synthesis in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2012. 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
objectiveKisspeptins (Kps), were first found to regulate the hypothalamopituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) axis in 2003, when two groups-demonstrated that mutations of GPR54 causes idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) characterized by delayed puberty. Objective of this review is to highlight both animal and human discoveries in KISS1/GPR54 system in last decade and extrapolate the therapeutic potential in humans from till date human studies.
designA systematic review of international scientific literature by a search of PUBMED and the authors files was done for Kp in reproduction, metabolic control & signal transduction.
settingNone Patient(s): In human studies--normal subjects patients with HH, or HA.
main outcome measuresEffects of Kp on puberty, brain sexual maturation, regulation of GnRH secretion, metabolic control of GnRH Neurons (N).
resultsKps/GPR54 are critical for brain sexual maturation, puberty and regulation of reproduction. Kps have been implicated in mediating signals to GnRH N--positive and negative feedback, metabolic input. Ability of Kp neurons to coordinate signals impinging on the HPG axis makes it one of most important regulators of reproductive axis since GnRH N's lack many receptors, with Kp neurons serving as upstream modulators.
conclusionsKps have proven as pivotal regulators of the reproduction, with the ability to integrate signals from both internal and external sources. Knowledge about signaling mechanisms involved in Kp stimulation of GnRH and with human studies has made it possible that therapeutically available Kp agonists/antagonists may be used for treatment of delayed puberty/HH, Hypothalamic amenorrhea and in prevention of spread of malignant ovarian/gonadal malignancies along with uses in some eating disorders.
