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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the preventive impact of Liuwei Dihuang pill (LWDH) on ovarian injury and to elucidate its mechanism through in vivo and in vitro tests.
methodsCyclophosphamide (CTX) was injected intraperitoneally and LWDH suspension was administered intragastrically to create a mouse model of primary ovarian insufficiency. Serum concentrations of hormones including AMH, E2 and FSH, alongside oxidative stress-related biomarkers such as SOD, GSH-Px and MDA, were measured using ELISA. By counting the autophagosomes in granulosa cells using electron microscopy and LC3 immunofluorescence labeling, the degree of autophagy was assessed. Finally, detect the expression levels of genes and proteins related to autophagy.
resultsLWDH elevated the ovarian weight and improved the ovarian index in mice with ovarian injury. The LWDH-treated group exhibited considerably lower MDA levels and significantly higher SOD and GSH-Px levels than the CTX group. Meanwhile, the group treated with LWDH reduced the granulosa cells' excessive apoptosis. In addition, the LWDH-treated group exhibited reduced LC3 fluorescence intensity and fewer autophagosome counts in comparison to the CTX group. Similarly, the expression of LC3, an autophagy-related marker, was decreased and p62 was markedly elevated in comparison to the CTX group. These findings suggest that LWDH has a positive protective effect on ovarian injury mice by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, improving ovarian tissue pathological damage, inhibiting granulosa cell apoptosis, and balancing granulosa cell autophagy. In addition, the expression levels of SIRT1 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway related proteins in the LWDH treatment group were significantly higher than those in the CTX group, suggesting that LWDH may exert its protective effect by activating the SIRT1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
conclusionLWDH may suppress granulosa cell autophagy through the activation of the SIRT1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, hence enhancing ovarian function.
