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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of royal jelly (RJ) on hippocampal neurons in an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures by assessing luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH) hormones. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six female rats (n=7/group) were divided into groups receiving saline (CTL, OVX, RJ, and OVX-RJ) and those undergoing PTZ-induced seizures (PTZ, PTZ-OVX, PTZ-RJ, and PTZ-OVX-RJ). OVX rats underwent bilateral ovary removal, followed by a 15-day RJ treatment at 300 mg/kg. The seizure model commenced 24 hours after the final RJ dose. Serum LH and FSH levels were measured, and Golgi staining assessed hippocampal neuron morphology. Results: The RJ group exhibited elevated LH and FSH levels compared to CTL. However, the PTZ-RJ group showed no significant changes in these hormones relative to the PTZ and CTL groups. In OVX-RJ rats, LH and FSH levels decreased compared to the RJ group, while PTZ-OVX-RJ rats showed increased levels. Dendritic spines remained unchanged in both the RJ and PTZ-RJ groups compared to the CTL and PTZ groups, respectively. Notably, OVX-RJ exhibited reduced spines compared to the RJ group, while PTZ-OVX-RJ showed an increase. Conclusion: RJ may protect against estrogen deficiency and seizure-related adverse effects on hippocampal neurons in OVX rats, highlighting its potential as a beneficial dietary supplement.
