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

The intestinal microbiota is vast in type and quantity and it plays a critical role in regulating various physiological functions in the host, including intestinal function, immune response and energy metabolism. Existing research shows that intestinal flora is associated with various hormones, cell cycles and ovarian function-related diseases in the female ovaries. Certain microorganisms within the intestinal flora can modulate the levels of hormones secreted by the ovary, such as estrogen and androgens. Furthermore, an imbalance in the gut microbiota can result in altered hormone levels in the host, potentially leading to related diseases. Studies have found that a variety of ovarian function-related diseases are closely related to intestinal flora, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian insufficiency (POI), endometriosis (EMS) and ovarian cancer. Importantly, ovarian function-related diseases are notably difficult to diagnose early and often require prolonged treatment for effective management. The microbiota and its metabolites in patients with ovarian function-related diseases and cancers can serve as valuable biomarkers for early diagnosis, offering novel strategies for disease screening, treatment stratification, and prognosis.
