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

Objective: Evaluating the therapeutic effect of detorsion, resveratrol, and nifedipine on ovarian viability assessed by biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical parameters and markers of oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were included in 4 groups, namely: sham operation, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), I/R+10 mg/kg nifedipine (NIF), I/R+100 mg/kg resveratrol (RSV). In the study groups, bilateral 720º ovarian torsion was performed and continued for 3 hours, followed by detorsion for another 3 hours. Thirty minutes before the detorsion, NIF and RSV groups received respective treatments. Adnexectomy was performed, and evaluations were made for the expression of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), markers of oxidative stress, and follicle counts. Blood AMH levels were measured. Results: No change in AMH levels was detected. Although the expression of AMH was significantly reduced following I/R alone, it remained similar to the control group in the NIF group. Meanwhile, the RSV group exhibited slightly lower expression than the control, although it was still higher than that observed with the I/R injury group. VEGFR-2 staining was similar in the I/R and NIF groups, but reduced in the RSV group. Markers of oxidative stress were similar between groups. Primordial follicle count was lower in the untreated I/R injury group compared to the control group (p<0.05). The NIF group had more secondary follicles than the I/R injury and RSV groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nifedipine and resveratrol treatments did not influence AMH levels and antioxidant-oxidant system parameters in rats exposed to I/R injury. However, nifedipine had a positive effect on AMH expression and secondary follicle count, and resveratrol decreased the expression of VEGFR-2 in tissues, which can be an indicator of their clinical potential.
