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

Background: AngiomiRs are a specialized subclass of microRNAs that target genes related to angiogenesis, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Angiogenesis is crucial in all stages of pregnancy and is essential for creating a receptive endometrium for embryo implantation. Both ovarian stimulation and Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, can influence angiogenesis. This study aims to examine endometrial quality, with a focus on angiogenesis, as well as serum levels of estradiol and progesterone, following EGCG administration in ovarian-stimulated mice, as a valuable model for studying human reproductive health and diseases. Methods and Materials: Forty adult female mice were assigned to four distinct groups: 1) control, 2) ovarian stimulation (7.5 IU HMG followed by 7.5 IU HCG 48 hours later, administered intraperitoneally), 3) EGCG (5 mg/kg EGCG for 4 days, IP), and 4) ovarian stimulation + EGCG groups. Gene expression analysis of miR-16-5p was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. VEGF protein and CD31-positive cell density were assessed through immunohistochemistry, and serum estradiol and progesterone levels were measured using ELISA. Results: Endothelial cell density, VEGF protein, and miR-16-5p expression and estradiol concentration significantly increased in the ovarian stimulation group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: EGCG significantly reduced endometrial angiogenesis, and angiomiR-16-5p may mediate the effects of EGCG on endometrial quality; however, further studies are needed.
