Functional evaluation of a novel kisspeptin analogue on the reproduction of female goldfish.

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
Kisspeptin (kp) is a key regulator of reproduction, which stimulates sexual maturation and gametogenesis in mammals, amphibians, and teleosts. In the present study, to enhance the biological activity of kp10, a novel analog (referred to as M-kp10) was designed based on the endogenous goldfish variant, in which phenylalanine 6 was substituted by tryptophan and the N-terminus was acetylated. Compared with the native kp-10 and salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH3), the effect of M-kp10 on sexual hormones and reproductive indices as well as the expression of kiss1, cyp19a1, and kiss1ra genes in goldfish (Carassius auratus) was investigated. In practice, peptides were synthesized based on the standard Fmoc-solid-phase peptide synthesis and purified by employing RP-HPLC, followed by approving their structure using ESI-MS. The results showed that M-kp10 increased significantly 17,20β-DHP, LH, FSH and E2 as well as fecundity, hatching and fertilization percentages than the other peptides. Histological studies revealed that M-kp10 led to the faster growth of ovarian follicles compared to the kp-10 and GnRH3. The genes of cyp19a1, kiss1ra, and kiss1 were remarkably more expressed after treatment with M-kp10. In conclusion, the results indicated the superiority of M-kp10 over kp-10 in inducing sexual maturation and accelerating the percentage of fecundity, suggesting that M-kp10 could be a promising candidate for application in the artificial breeding of fish.
