The role of zinc in follicular development.
Review in Molecular biology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Follicles consist of specialized somatic cells that encase a single oocyte. Follicle development is a process regulated by a variety of endocrine, paracrine, and secretory factors that work together to select follicles for ovulation. Zinc is an essential nutrient for the human body and is involved in many physiological processes, such as follicle development, immune response, homeostasis, oxidative stress, cell cycle progression, DNA replication, DNA damage repair, apoptosis, and aging. Zinc deficiency can lead to blocked oocyte meiotic process, cumulus expansion, and follicle ovulation. In this mini-review, we summarize the the role of zinc in follicular development.
