Honey and royal jelly boost sperm parameters, ovarian follicles growth, and steroid hormones in immature rats.
Review in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Traditional medicine experts frequently recommend honey and royal jelly (RJ) as a supplemental diet to cure infertility and increase reproductivity. Aim: The goal of the study was to investigate the effects of honey and RJ on testis and ovary performance in relation to hormone levels, sperm parameters, and ovarian follicles. Methods: Forty-two immature Albino Sprague-Dawley male and female rats were used and allocated into seven groups: group 1 (Control negative), the rat was on a normal diet; groups 2, 3, and 4, the animals were fed on honey 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg/bw; and groups 5, 6, and 7, the rats were fed on RJ 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg/bw. After 4 weeks of the experiment, the blood was taken by heart puncture for hormonal and antioxidant assay by Cobas pack and ELISA utilization, respectively, the semen was taken manually from the epididymis for detecting sperm morphology and viability, and the testis and ovary were processed for H&E staining and histomorphometric parameters by (Am Scope Results: Honey and RJ improved the level of male and female hormones significantly ( Conclusion: According to this study, honey and RJ may be a novel additional supplement that could improve reproductive performance and be a successful future treatment for reproductive abnormalities.
