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

Amphibians as models have informed our understanding of the hormonal control of development and reproduction. Seminal studies on frogs and toads have led to discoveries pertaining to the role of the thyroid in development and reproduction, the function of the pituitary, and the process of oocyte maturation and ovarian steroidogenesis. Likewise, insights from mammalian reproductive endocrinology have impacted amphibian assisted reproduction technologies. Amphibians are biological indicators of ecosystem health and are important for modeling the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other pollutants. Parallel declines in human health and amphibian species within the last century highlight the interconnectivity among animals, ecosystems, and humans.
