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

Introduction: Bushen Huoxue (BSHX) decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been utilized clinically to treat Diminished Ovarian Reserve. However, the underlying mechanisms by which BSHX decoction increases fertility from the perspective of systemic stress protective responses remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate how BSHX decoction improves female fertility by improving systemic stress resistance in a fertility-defective Methods: Bisphenol A (BPA) was utilized to create a fertility-defective Results and Discussion: BSHX decoction significantly increased the fertility of BPA-exposed nematodes by inhibiting the accumulation of RHO-1 proteins in proximal oocytes. BSHX enhanced the heat stress resistance of germ cells, which is mediated by the PMK-1 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways in germ cells. BSHX upregulated the transcriptional level and fluorescent protein level of the innate peptide T24B8.5
