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

It is crucial to develop new tactics to prevent ovarian tissue damage in women whose reproductive toxicity is caused by chemotherapy. The present investigation was performed to assess the protective effects of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaf extract on cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced ovarian damage and reproductive dysfunction. Thirty-two female, healthy Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to four groups (8 rats/group). The first group was given saline intraperitoneally (i.p.). The second group was given a single dose of CP (200 mg/kg; i.p.). The third and fourth groups were given M. oleifera leaf extract (150 and 250 mg/kg; orally) for 20 days before receiving CP on the final day of the experiment. Hormonal assessments, including follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estrogen (ES), were performed 24 h after CP administration. In addition, the antioxidant status and inflammatory response against CP were evaluated. Moreover, detailed histopathological and ultra- structural observations were conducted. For evaluation of statistical significance between different groups; One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's post hoc test was adopted. Our findings revealed that rats subjected to CP showed increased levels of FSH, LH, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-8 and decreased levels of ES and glutathione. Pre-treatment with M. oleifera leaf extract (250 mg/kg; orally) was statistically significant (p values < 0.05) as it could improve hormonal changes, oxidative stress indices, and pro- inflammatory mediator levels. Consequently, a marked improvement was observed in the ovarian and uterine architectures, with a normal ovarian reserve and a normal endothelium with normal tubular glands. In conclusion, M. oleifera leaf extract (250 mg/kg) could be used as a pharmaceutical supplement because it protects female rats against CP-induced ovarian damage and reproductive dysfunction.
