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: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders affecting women of reproductive age. Methods: A dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced mouse model of PCOS was established to evaluate the effects of DOP. Estrous cyclicity, ovarian histopathology, serum hormone levels, RT-qPCR, and Western blot analyses were performed to assess reproductive function, endocrine changes, and MAPK/ERK-related signaling. Results: DOP treatment restored estrous cyclicity, improved ovarian morphology, and partially normalized serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and testosterone levels. In addition, DOP reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and downregulated the expression of CYP17A1 and CYP19A1. Conclusion: DOP ameliorated reproductive and endocrine abnormalities in a DHEA-induced mouse model of PCOS. The findings suggest that modulation of MAPK/ERK signaling may contribute to the biological effects of DOP, although further mechanistic studies are required to establish causal relationships.
