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

Chemotherapeutics' development has enhanced the survival rate of cancer patients; however, adverse effects of chemotherapeutics on ovarian functions cause fertility loss in female cancer patients. Cisplatin (CP), an important chemotherapeutic drug for treating solid tumors, has adversely affected ovarian function. Melatonin (MT) has been shown to have beneficial effects on ovarian function owing to its antioxidative function. In this research, an animal model was established to explore the effect of MT on CP-induced ovarian damage. Immunohistochemical analysis and Western blot were also used to explore its mechanism. This study reported that MT protects mouse ovaries from CP-induced damage. Specifically, MT significantly prevented CP-induced ovarian reserve decline by maintaining AMH and BMP15 levels. We also found that MT ameliorated CP-induced cell cycle disorders by up-regulating CDC2 expression, and inhibited CP-induced ovarian inflammation by decreasing IL-1β and IL-18 levels. Moreover, MT protected the ovary from CP-induced mitochondrial damage, as reflected by restoring mitochondria-related protein expression. Furthermore, CP caused ovarian apoptosis, as indicated by up-regulated BAX expression. MT was also shown to activate the MAPK pathway. Our results showed that MT could ameliorate ovarian damage induced by CP, implying that MT may be a viable alternative to preserve female fertility during CP chemotherapy.
