Fisetin ameliorates polycystic ovary syndrome in rats via a mechanistic modulation of AMP-activated protein kinase and SIRT1 molecular pathway.

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
Fisetin, a polyphenolic flavonoid, exhibits numerous pharmacological activities against metabolic syndromes. The present research aims to explore the therapeutic efficacy of fisetin in experimental polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered mifepristone (20 mg/kg/day) to induce PCOS. PCOS rats were treated with fisetin (20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg) and further compared with metformin HCl, the conventional drug for PCOS. The mechanism of fisetin was explored using dorsomorphin (an AMPK inhibitor). Then, rats were sacrificed for further analysis of biochemical and histological parameters. PCOS rats exhibited irregular estrous cycles, increased serum testosterone (4.72 ± 0.139 ng/ml), estradiol (750.2 ± 16.56 pg/ml), LH (30.33 ± 1.563 mIU/ml), HOMA-IR (1.115 ± 0.049), TNF-α (86.59 ± 3.93 pg/ml), IL-6 (55.34 ± 4.432 pg/ml), and TBARS (3.867 ± 0.193 µmol/mg) along with declined progesterone (11.67 ± 1.54 ng/ml), FSH (13.33 ± 1.256 mIU/ml), GSH (33.47 ± 1.348 µmol/mg) levels, and SOD (2.163 ± 0.298 U/mg) activity as compared to normal control group. Fisetin high dose significantly lowers testosterone (3.014 ± 0.234 ng/ml), estradiol (533.7 ± 15.39 pg/ml), LH (16.67 ± 1.62 mIU/ml), HOMA-IR (0.339 ± 0.20), TNF-α (46.02 ± 2.66 pg/ml), IL-6 (31.77 ± 3.47 pg/ml), and TBARS (1.747 ± 0.185 µmol/mg) and enhances progesterone (33.17 ± 1.447 ng/ml), FSH (27.17 ± 1.42 mIU/ml), GSH (60.35 ± 1.1.102 µmol/mg) levels, and SOD (4.513 ± 0.607 U/mg) activity. The histology of ovarian tissues shows a significant increase in cystic follicles in PCOS rats compared with the normal control group. These alterations were attenuated with fisetin treatment. Administration of dorsomorphin with fisetin can reverse the beneficial effects of fisetin in PCOS rats. Altogether, these present findings highlight the potential of fisetin as a promising therapeutic intervention for the management of PCOS by modulating AMPK/SIRT1 signaling in rats.
