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

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a ubiquitous environmental chemical that produces adverse effect on reproduction system due to its potent estrogenic endocrine disruptive activity. The present study was aimed to investigate the monotonic dose effect of BPA on estrogen synthesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats. For this purpose, we administered three different doses of BPA (10, 50, 100 µg/kg bw/day) into rats and analyzed various biochemical, hormonal, molecular and histological parameters. 10 µg BPA treated rats showed significantly decreased levels of phase I detoxification agents (CYP450, Cyt-b5). Overexpression of eNOS with decreased expression of StAR and steroidogenic enzymes (CYP11A1, aromatase) indicate decreased production of estrogen. Increased levels of serum gonadotropins (FSH, LH) and decreased levels of estradiol suggest mimetic action of BPA and its feedback inhibition. Increased body weight, lipid profile status of 10 µg BPA treated rats and histological analysis of ovary and mammary tissue support the study. Overall, our results suggest that BPA exerts its estrogen mimetic effects in a monotonic manner.
