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

objectiveDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) encompasses both reproductive and endocrine disorders, resulting in a decline in female fertility. This paper explored the mechanism of Yangjing Zhongyu Decoction (YJZYD) regulating mitochondrial dynamics of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) to improve DOR.

methodsDOR patients were treated with YJZYD, with ovarian volume (OV), antral follicle count (AFC), and endometrial thickness (EMT) detected. C57BL/6 female mice were treated by cyclophosphamide (Cy) intraperitoneal injection and YJZYD solution daily gavage, with serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) levels determined. Ovarian GCs (KGN) were interfered with 4-Hydroperoxy-Cyclophosphamide (4-HC) and treated with the MAPK/ERK pathway inhibitor or activator.

resultsDOR patients showed increased levels of serum AMH, E2, OV, AFC and EMT, while reduced FSH and LH levels after YJZYD treatment. After Cy induction, DOR mice exhibited irregular estrous cycles, diminished serum AMH and E2 levels, elevated FSH and LH levels, reduced follicle number and atresia follicle number, disorderly arranged GCs, and severe interstitial fibrosis. After 4-HC treatment, KGN proliferation and Bcl-2, MFN1, and MFN2 were suppressed, while apoptotic rate, Bax, Cleaved-caspase-3, and p-Drp1 (Ser616) levels, and mitochondrial fission and quantity increased. YJZYD promoted 4-HC-treated KGN proliferation, boosted mitochondrial fusion, and inhibited apoptosis and mitochondrial fission via the MAPK/ERK pathway.

conclusionYJZYD promoted ovarian GC proliferation and mitochondrial fusion, suppressed cell apoptosis and mitochondrial fission, and effectively improved DOR in mice by activating the MAPK/ERK pathway, providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application value of YJZYD in DOR treatment.
