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
To effectively assess ovarian vascular function and understand its role in ovarian physiology and pathology, non-invasive in vivo approaches are essential for capturing real-time changes without disrupting normal blood flow. Doppler ultrasonography is a well-established, non-invasive tool for assessing ovarian blood flow in larger species, but its application has been limited in mice, which are one of the most widely used animal models for research in ovarian biology, such as ovulation. Ovulation is a tightly regulated process that depends on coordinated follicular maturation stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone, followed by a preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge that leads to rupture of the follicle wall and release of oocytes for fertilization. The LH surge also triggers a series of structural and functional changes in the ovarian vasculature (vascular remodeling), such as angiogenesis and constriction of capillaries at the follicular rupture site shortly before ovulation. In addition, a rapid increase in ovarian blood flow following the LH surge has been reported in multiple species but not in mice. This protocol utilizes Doppler ultrasonography to visualize the murine ovarian vasculature and quantify hemodynamic parameters. The protocol presented here reports detailed methods for hormone priming, anesthesia, positioning of the mouse, identification of the ovary and its vasculature using power and color Doppler, and measurement of blood flow velocity and resistance parameters. This method enables real-time, longitudinal assessment of ovarian vascular function in live mice, providing a powerful tool for studying ovarian vascular function in both physiological and pathological contexts.
