Irisin in Reproduction: Its Roles and Therapeutic Potential in Male and Female Fertility Disorders.
Review in Biomolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The current study focused on identifying the potential of irisin in mammalian reproduction. The established role of irisin, a proteolytic product of FNDC5, in adipose tissue browning, energy metabolism, and thermogenesis suggests its role in reproductive health, often disturbed by metabolic imbalances. Various studies on mice demonstrated irisin's role in improving spermatogenesis, sperm count, and testosterone levels by influencing the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. Moreover, in females, there is a fluctuation in levels of irisin during critical reproductive stages, including menstrual cycles, puberty, and pregnancy. Conditions like pregnancy complications, precocious puberty, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are found to have an association with abnormal irisin levels. The potential role of irisin in endometrial receptivity and preventing endometritis is also discussed in this review. Overall, the influence of irisin on female and male reproduction is evident from various studies. However, further research is needed to elucidate irisin mechanism in reproduction and its potential as a therapeutic or diagnostic tool for reproductive dysfunctions and infertility.
