The effect of human menstrual blood-derived stem cells on ovarian folliculogenesis, angiogenesis and collagen volume in female rats affected by the polycystic ovary syndrome.
Article in Journal of ovarian research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundInfertility is one of the common problems among couples, affecting millions of people worldwide. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the main causes of infertility in women and is associated with abnormal folliculogenesis, angiogenesis and fibrosis. Common treatments may lead to numerous adverse effects on the patient's quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of human menstrual blood-derived stem cells on the ovarian histology of a PCOS model of Wistar rats.
resultsBased on the Papanicolaou test and H&E staining results, the number of primary, secondary and antral follicles in the PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups significantly increased compared to the control group, while they significantly decreased in the PCOS + Stem cells group compared to the PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups. Further, the number of atretic follicles in both PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups significantly increased in comparison with the control group and decreased in the PCOS + Stem cells group, compared to the two mentioned groups. Moreover, the Graafian follicles number was decreased in the PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups to significantly increase in the PCOS + Stem cells group. Based on Masson's trichrome staining, the number of blood vessels in PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups significantly increased compared to the control group, while a decrease was observed in the PCOS + Stem cells group, compared to PCOS and PCOS-Sham groups.
conclusionThe administration of MenSCs improved folliculogenesis in rats with polycystic ovaries. Also, MenSCs could ameliorate PCOS symptoms by improving fibrosis as well as angiogenesis and weight gain.
