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

Stress is well-known to inhibit a variety of reproductive processes, including the suppression of episodic Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, typically measured via downstream luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Since pulsatile secretion of GnRH and LH are necessary for proper reproductive function in both males and females, and stress is common for both human and animals, understanding the fundamental mechanisms by which stress impairs LH pulses is of critical importance. Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and its corresponding endocrine factors, is a key feature of the stress response, so dissecting the role of stress hormones, including corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) and corticosterone, in the inhibition of LH secretion has been one key research focus. However, some evidence suggests that these stress hormones alone are not sufficient for the full inhibition of LH caused by stress, implicating the additional involvement of other hormonal or neural signaling pathways in this process (including inputs from the brainstem, amygdala, parabrachial nucleus, and dorsomedial nucleus). Moreover, different stress types, such as metabolic stress (hypoglycemia), immune stress, and psychosocial stress, appear to suppress LH secretion via partially unique neural and endocrine pathways. The mechanisms underlying the suppression of LH pulses in these models offer interesting comparisons and contrasts, including the specific roles of amygdaloid nuclei and CRH receptor types. This review focuses on the most recent and emerging insights into endocrine and neural mechanisms responsible for the suppression of pulsatile LH secretion in mammals, and offers insights in important gaps in knowledge.
