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
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of GW1929, a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARγ) agonist, in perimenopause rats. Female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) to induce perimenopause rat model. Then they were given GW1929 in low, middle and high dosage. Histopathology observation of uterus and ovary tissues was measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The levels of serum hormones, oxidative stress related factors, bone formation and bone metabolism associated factors in serum were detected by kits. Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl Transferase Mediated Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) was employed to evaluate cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the expression of PPARγ and apoptosis associated proteins were measured by western blotting. The results revealed that there was no thickening of endometrium and no mature follicular development in ovaries of model group rats. GW1929 treatment recovered endometrial function with a tendency of thickening and there were mature follicle in the ovary. In addition, GW1929 increased the expression of PPARγ in both uterus and ovary tissues. The contents of estrogen (E2) were increased, whereas follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were decreased after being intervened with GW1929 in perimenopause rats. Concurrently, GW1929 reduced the levels of oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner. Following treatment with GW1929, cell apoptosis in uterus and ovary tissues were attenuated, accompanied by a downregulation of Bax expression and an upregulation of Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 expression. Moreover, In the GW1929-treated perimenopause rats, the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and bone mineral density (BMD) were enhanced, while tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) was reduced. Taken together, we conclude that GW1929 could improve uterus, ovary and bone metabolism function in perimenopause rats, which is of great significance for the treatment of perimenopause.
