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

The transition from quiescence to a mature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary (HPO) axis is a complex window of female reproductive maturation spanning puberty and the early postmenarcheal years. In reproductive maturity, the ovaries integrate reproductive and metabolic endocrine signals to coordinate both ovulatory and anovulatory waves of antral follicle development. Reproductive development towards a mature reproductive axis during adolescence is essential for optimal physiology and long-term reproductive health. However, abnormal reproductive maturation during this window is increasingly prevalent, highlighting the need to better understand the physiological and pathophysiological phases of reproductive maturity leading to ovarian antral follicle wave dynamics that define optimal reproductive maturity. In this mini-review, we will summarize literature in both humans and ruminant animal models to describe what is known - and unknown - of the endocrinology and morphology of follicle wave dynamics and follicular growth profiles from birth through reproductive maturity.
