Shoutai pills improve the quality of oocytes exposed to the chemotherapeutic drug Hydroxyurea.

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
Hydroxyurea (HU), a DNA synthesis inhibitor, is one of the most common chemotherapeutic drugs that have been widely applied to treat a variety of cancers. HU treatment exhibits severe side effects including renal toxicity, skin toxicity and embryo-toxicity. However, the influence of HU on the female gamete development has not yet fully clarified. Here, we found that HU exposure induced the degeneration of activated follicles after primordial follicle stage, resulting in the depletion of the ovarian reserve. HU exposure also led to the oocyte meiotic maturation arrest via disrupting normal spindle assembly, chromosome alignment and kinetochore-microtubule attachment. Furthermore, exposure to HU impaired the dynamics of ovastacin and Juno, two critical fertilization regulators. Notably, we illustrated that Shoutai pills (STP), a traditional Chinese medicine drug that has been commonly used for the treatment of miscarriage in China, partially restored all of the defects of oocyte development resulting from HU exposure through inhibiting the occurrence of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. Taken together, our data not only reveal the adverse impact of HU exposure on the female gamete development, but also provide an effective strategy to prevent it, potentially contributing to the improvement of the quality of oocytes from patients treated with HU.
