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

Objective: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an undesired outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation, commonly used in infertility treatment during Materials and Methods: A hyperstimulation model was created using 40 Wistar albino rats, each 22 days old. The rats were divided into four groups. Group 1 was the negative control group, Group 2 was the positive control group, Group 3 was the bevacizumab-administered group after ovarian hyperstimulation, and Group 4 was the retinoic acid-administered group after ovarian hyperstimulation. Serum estradiol and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were evaluated. Peritoneal fluid was collected using a syringe, and the presence of peritoneal fluid was recorded observationally. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining were performed on the ovaries. Immunohistochemical staining for VEGF and estrogen receptors was conducted. Results: Retinoic acid treatment significantly reduced peritoneal fluid and inhibited fluid leakage, whereas bevacizumab treatment resulted in a slight reduction of peritoneal fluid. The number of tertiary and secondary follicles remained unaffected by both bevacizumab and retinoic acid treatment. However, the number of primary follicles significantly decreased in the bevacizumab and retinoic acid treatment groups. Retinoic acid treatment significantly reduced estrogen receptor (ER) in the stromal compartment. Conclusion: Both retinoic acid and bevacizumab appear to be effective in treating OHSS. Additionally, retinoic acid and bevacizumab influence the initial stages of follicular development. Future studies are essential to determine the optimal dosage and timing for these therapeutic agents.
