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: This study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of Yangjing Shugan decoction (YJSGD) in D-galactose (D-gal)-induced Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) mice and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Methods: The main metabolites in YJSGD were characterized. A D-gal-induced POF mouse model was established and intervened with YJSGD at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg. A comprehensive analysis encompassing ovarian function, oxidative stress, inflammation, the Sirt1/Nrf2 pathway, gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and serum metabolomics was conducted. Results: The results demonstrated that YJSGD effectively restored estrous cyclicity, normalized serum estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, and improved ovarian follicular development. YJSGD treatment also enhanced systemic antioxidant capacity and attenuated inflammation. Mechanistically, the therapeutic effects were associated with the upregulation of the Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway in the ovary, as evidenced by increased protein expression of Sirt1, Nrf2, and HO-1, and suppressed Keap1. Furthermore, YJSGD ameliorated gut microbiota dysbiosis, promoted beneficial SCFAs production, and rectified serum metabolic disturbances involved in amino acid, lipid, and energy metabolism. Conclusion: The results indicate that YJSGD is a promising multi-target agent for POF treatment, and its synergistic effects on reproductive, oxidative, and gut microbiota homeostasis provide a solid basis for its clinical application.
