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

Anti-Müllerian hormone is a promising fertoprotective agent, demonstrating particularly strong efficacy against doxorubicin-induced ovarian toxicity. However, the impact of chemotherapy on the uterus, and the potential benefits of anti-Müllerian hormone in this context, remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized doxorubicin-induced uterine damage and assessed the fertoprotective effect of anti-Müllerian hormone co-treatment in mice. Acutely, doxorubicin treatment caused the accumulation of DNA damage in multiple uterine cell-types, including the myometrium, as evidenced by both increased γ-H2AX staining and upregulation of Cdkn1a, Trp53, and other downstream Trp53 pathway targets, both at the mRNA and protein levels. Anti-Müllerian hormone co-treatment counteracted these effects by reducing γ-H2AX-positive DNA damage lesion accumulation and by suppressing Trp53 and its downstream pathway. Furthermore, anti-Müllerian hormone co-treatment significantly reduced the incidence of doxorubicin-induced labor dystocia, a complication of parturition, in pregnancies following chemotherapy treatment. These findings suggest that, in addition to ovarian protection, anti-Müllerian hormone may have benefits in preserving myometrial integrity and long-term uterine function following chemotherapy, further supporting its therapeutic potential for fertility preservation in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
