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

introductionElectronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have recently become popular as an alternative to conventional cigarettes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of e-cigarette refill liquid (e-liquid) on follicular development and estrogen secretion in rats and whether it is related to the Hippo signaling pathway, a pathway that can regulate follicle growth.

methodsOvaries from 21- and 35-day-old rats were divided into three groups: control (no intervention), 0.05 mg, and 0.5 mg (e-liquids containing 0.5 mg and 5 mg of nicotine/kg). The rates were cultured for three hours

resultsHE staining showed that the percentage of normal follicles decreased, and immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of CYP19 and YAP significantly decreased after e-liquid intervention. ELISA showed that the estrogen concentration in the ovaries decreased after e-liquid intervention. Western blot results indicated that CYP19, LATS2, and YAP expression, decreased after e-liquid intervention, but PLATS2 and PYAP expression increased.

conclusionsWe found that the e-liquids may impair the development of rat ovarian follicles and reduce estrogen secretion through Hippo signaling pathway.
