The therapeutic effects of ovarian stromal stem cells in the natural ovarian aging process in rats.
Article in Iranian journal of veterinary research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Natural ovarian aging (NOA) is characterized by the age-dependent, gradual depletion of the primordial follicle reserve in the ovarian cortex, a decline in oocyte quality, and the potential to lead to infertility. Aims: This study investigated the effects of stromal stem cells (OSCs) isolated from the ovary on ovarian tissue and folliculogenesis by transplanting these cells into the ovaries of rats undergoing ovarian aging. Methods: Twelve 12-14-month-old Sprague Dawley rats with regular oestrous cycles and reduced oocyte counts were divided into control (n=6) and OSC transplantation (n=6) groups. Stromal stem cells isolated from 23-25-day-old female rat ovaries were injected into the OSC group. Follicle counts and ovarian morphology were assessed via hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR), and Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) expression in ovarian tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, while serum AMH, FSH, and estradiol (E2) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: After 30 days, ovarian function improved with increased ovarian reserve and tissue architecture showed marked improvement. IGF-1 and AMH expression were significantly higher in the OSC group than in controls (P=0.02), there was no statistically significant difference in FSHR expression between groups (P=0.09). Unlike AMH levels (P=0.5129), Serum E2 levels rose significantly in the OSC group (P=0.0001). Serum FSH levels were similar between the groups (P=0.444). Conclusion: These findings suggest that OSC transplantation may improve ovarian function and reserve in aged rats, presenting a potential regenerative treatment for natural ovarian aging.
