Diversity and dynamics of fish ovaries: Insights into reproductive strategies, hormonal regulation, and ovarian development.
Review in Histology and histopathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Fish ovaries exhibit a remarkable diversity in shape, size, and organization, reflecting the myriad reproductive strategies employed by different species. This review delves into the intricate biology of fish ovaries, highlighting their structural diversity and the hormonal regulation that governs ovarian development and oocyte maturation. Key hormones include pituitary gonadotropins (GTHs) and maturation-inducing hormones (MIHs), which initiate oocyte growth and maturation. GTHs stimulate ovarian production of estradiol-17β and 17α,20β-DP, which induce oocyte maturation via MPF formation. Sex steroids like estrogens and progestogens, synthesized from cholesterol, play crucial roles. Other hormones, including growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid hormones, IGFs, ACTH, and melatonin, influence ovarian activity. The review also explores the varied reproductive strategies among fish, including oviparity and viviparity, and discusses how environmental factors like water temperature and photoperiod influence ovarian histology. Understanding the complex interplay between these factors is essential for advancing fisheries management, conservation, and aquaculture practices. Additionally, the evolutionary trajectory of fish ovaries underscores their adaptation to diverse ecological niches, contributing to the survival and reproductive success of fish species. The ovarian stroma provides structural support and houses various cell types, including dendritic cells (DCs), endocrine cells, and telocytes, contributing to follicle growth and hormone production, essential for reproductive success in fish. Fish ovaries are a crucial aspect of fish biology, with their structure and function intricately regulated by hormonal, environmental, and seasonal factors.
