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

Introduction: As an effective inhibitor of premature ovulation, progestin was introduced to a novel ovarian stimulation regimen for infertility treatment. However, the local action of progestin on the ovary and its effect on clinical outcomes have not been described. Objectives: The influence of progesterone administration on clinical oocyte outcomes and the mechanisms involved in the coordination of progesterone and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on follicle growth and oocyte yields were investigated. Methods: Clinical outcomes of patients undergoing ovarian stimulation for Results: Progesterone decreased clinical oocyte yields, and yields were rescued with an increased dose of human menopausal gonadotropin. Administration of progesterone inhibited murine granular cell proliferation and reduced the growth rate of follicles; both of which were rescued by FSH. The phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were identified as pivotal signaling pathways to integrate progesterone into the FSH signaling network in granular cells. Conclusion: Progesterone inhibited granular cell proliferation and antral follicle growth during ovarian stimulation, and subsequently influenced oocyte outcomes in the clinical setting. Progesterone coordinated with FSH to regulate follicle growth through PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways. These findings advance our knowledge regarding the ovarian response to gonadotropins during progestin-primed ovarian stimulation and create an opportunity to manipulate individual oocyte yields.
