Physiological premature aging of ovarian blood vessels leads to decline in fertility in middle-aged mice.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
Ovarian function declines significantly as females enter middle-age, but the mechanisms underlying this decline remain unclear. Here, we utilize whole-organ imaging to observe a notable decrease in ovarian blood vessel (oBV) density and angiogenesis intensity of middle-aged mice. This leads to a diminished blood supply to the ovaries, resulting in inadequate development and maturation of ovarian follicles. Utilizing genetic-modified mouse models, we demonstrate that granulosa cell secreted VEGFA governs ovarian angiogenesis, but the physiological decline in oBV is not attributed to VEGFA insufficiency. Instead, through single-cell sequencing, we identify the aging of the ovarian vascular endothelium as the primary factor contributing to oBV decline. Consequently, the administration of salidroside, a natural compound that is functional to reverse oBV aging and promote ovarian angiogenesis, significantly enhances ovarian blood supply and improve fertility in older females. Our findings highlight that enhancing oBV function is a promising strategy to boost fertility in females.
