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

backgroundLepR tyrosine site mutation mice (Y123F) exhibit decreased serum E2 levels, immature reproductive organs, infertility as well as metabolic abnormalities. Although the actions of leptin and lepR in the control of reproductive function are thought to be exerted mainly via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, relatively less is known regarding their local effects on the peripheral ovary, especially on steroid hormone synthesis. Meanwhile, whether the decreased fertility of Y123F mouse could be restored by gonadotropin has not been clear yet.

methodsThe serum levels of E2, P4, FSH, LH, T and leptin of Y123F and WT mice at the age of 12 weeks were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemistry was used to compare the distribution of hormone synthases (STAR, CYP11A1, CYP19A1, HSD17B7) and FSHR in adult mouse ovaries of two genotypes. Western blot and real-time PCR were used to detect the expression levels of four ovarian hormone synthases and JAK2-STAT3 / STAT5 signaling pathway in 4 and 12 weeks old mice, as well as the effects of exogenous hFSH stimulation on hormone synthases and FSHR.

resultsCompared with WT mice, the serum levels of FSH, LH and E2 in 12-week-old Y123F mice were significantly decreased; T and leptin levels were significantly increased; but there was no significant difference of serum P4 levels. STAR, CYP11A1, HSD17B7 expression levels and the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 were significantly decreased in adult Y123F mice, while the expression of CYP19A1 and phospho-STAT5 were significantly increased. No significant differences were found between 4-week-old Y123F and WT mice. After exogenous hFSH stimulation, E2 levels and expression of CYP19A1 and HSD17B7 were significantly higher than that in the non-stimulated state, but significant differences still existed between Y123F and WT genotype mice under the same condition.

conclusionsAbnormal sex hormone levels of Y123F mice were due to not only decreased gonadotropin levels in the central nervous system, but also ovarian hormone synthase abnormalities in the peripheral gonads. Both FSH signaling pathway and JAK2-STAT3/STAT5 signaling pathway were involved in regulation of ovarian hormone synthases expression. Exogenous FSH just partly improved the blood E2 levels and ovarian hormone synthase expression.
