Tramadol induces hormonal imbalance, histopathology, and altered ovarian gene expression in mice.

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
objectiveTramadol is a centrally acting analgesic with a modest opioid effect similar to morphine and codeine, but less potent; it is mainly prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate pain. Tramadol exhibits both opioid and non-opioid properties, primarily affecting the central nervous system. Accordingly, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of tramadol on female reproductive function and ovarian toxicity, as well as to examine oocyte survival and follicular development in mice exposed to tramadol.
methodsMice were treated with tramadol at 50 mg/kg daily for 3 weeks. Blood levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone were measured. The ovaries of the mice were subjected to histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular studies.
resultsOur results revealed that tramadol provoked ovarian atrophy by inducing oxidative stress, while also decreasing oocyte survival and impairing follicular development.
conclusionAlthough further research is necessary, the findings indicate that tramadol could reduce fertility in female mice.
