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

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been reported to have an elevated serum advanced glycation end product (AGE) level. However, the effect of AGEs on the pathophysiological ovarian granulosa cells of PCOS is still unclear. In this study, five indented BSA-derived AGE products were used to evaluate their effect on the function of human granulosa cells. We found that the proliferation of both primary human ovarian granulosa (hGC) cells and human granulosa-like tumor (KGN) cells were inhibited by treatment with these five AGE products. The progesterone secretion level was also reduced in both hGC and KGN cells by treatment with these AGE products through downregulation of LH receptor/cAMP regulatory activity. The granulosa cell layer and serum progesterone level were reduced in rats by treatment with MG-BSA; moreover, an increased number of follicle cysts and an irregular estrous cycle were observed. MG-BSA treatment had a similar effect on the phenotypes of the DHEA-induced PCOS model. Additionally, the insulin resistance and hepatic lesions seen in the DHEA-induced PCOS model were observed in the MG-BSA treatment group. Taken together, we found that AGEs exert a toxic effect on ovarian granulosa cells, ovarian morphology, and the estrous cycle that mimics the DHEA-induced PCOS phenotypes.
