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

Oxidative stress results in the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) and premature ovarian failure (POF). Ginsenoside Rg1 possesses natural antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties. However, the underlying mechanisms by which it regulates mitochondrial function in ovarian GCs remain unclear. To investigate the potential mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) in mitigating oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis in POF. This study employed network pharmacology and in vitro experiments to identify the key targets and pathways associated with the therapeutic effects of Rg1 in the treatment of POF. An oxidative stress model was established using H₂O₂-treated KGN cells to validate the network pharmacology predictions in vitro. In the Rg1-treated group, cell viability was significantly improved, while the rate of apoptosis was reduced. Furthermore, Rg1 suppressed the production of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and increased the levels of glutathione and adenosine triphosphate. Additionally, Rg1 downregulated pro-apoptotic and mitophagy-related markers (Bax, Caspase-3, Parkin, PINK1) and upregulated Bcl-2, p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR, suggesting involvement of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These findings suggest that Rg1 protects against H
