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

backgroundPremature ovarian failure (POF) is the end-stage of a decline in ovarian function prior to the age of 40 years that involves symptoms associated with low estradiol (E CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report three cases (29, 22, and 33 years-of-age) diagnosed with POF after experiencing secondary amenorrhea for more than one year, serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 IU/L on two occasions with an interval of more than 4 wk, and negative progesterone withdrawal tests. All three patients were intermittently administered with drugs to create an artificial cycle. During the subsequent discontinuation period, the patients experienced intermittent follicular growth and spontaneous ovulation. One patient experienced two natural pregnancies (both with embryo arrest).

conclusionOur findings suggest that young patients with POF can experience unpredictable and intermittent spontaneous follicular development, ovulation, and even natural pregnancy. Clinicians should provide appropriate medical guidance and individualized treatments according to fertility requirements, genetic risks and hypoestrogenic symptoms as soon as possible.
