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

objectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) in alleviating premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to provide a theoretical basis for EA treatment of POI.

methodsFor this purpose, a POI mice model was developed by injecting 12 mg/kg busulfan and 120 mg/kg cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally to induce POI. It was then proceeded by EA intervention at Guanyuan (CV4) acupoint on the second day following modeling. Similarly, apoptosis in ovarian granulosa cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed for measuring serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen (E

resultsAnalysis of serum levels of various hormones indicated that serum FSH and LH were reduced in EA compared to the POI group, while E

conclusionsEA at the Guanyuan (CV4) acupoint protected the granulosa cell by inhibiting cell apoptosis and promoting mitophagy, which was mediated by the Hippo-YAP/TAZ pathway.
