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

backgroundFollicle development is a complicated biological process that produces mature oocytes, and requires nutrients, growth factors, and steroids produced by ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). High fork head box J2 (FOXJ2) expression might negatively regulate ovarian function; however, the mechanism is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of FOXJ2 overexpression in GCs on regulating follicle development and fertility.

methodsA GC-specific conditional Foxj2 knock-in mouse model (Amh-cre; Foxj2

resultsFOXJ2 overexpression in GCs led to reduced fertility, hormonal abnormalities, and follicle atresia, starting at the initiation of sexual maturity, resulting in a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)-like phenotype. Increased apoptosis and mitochondrial calcium overload were detected in the GCs of Amh-cre; Foxj2
