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

Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) is a widely used Chinese patent medicine in the clinical treatment of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) induced infertility in China. However, the pharmacological actions and underlying mechanisms of ZYP in treating DOR remain poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of ZYP on DOR and elucidate its potential mechanisms. Two models including tripterygium glycosides (TGs)-induced DOR rat model and pZP3-induced DOR mouse model were selected to assess the effectiveness of ZYP in treating DOR. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks in both models. ZYP administration significantly increased the primordial follicles and the serum levels of AMH both in DOR rat and mouse model. Further, ZYP regulated the apoptosis pathway and apoptosis-related molecules including PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Bcl6 and Abtb2 in ovary of DOR rat. The ovarian apoptosis level was significantly downregulated in a dose-depended manner in ZYP groups. Thus, we demonstrate that ZYP improved the ovarian reserve in DOR models. The mechanisms of ZYP on DOR may be mediated through decreasing the apoptosis level by the regulation of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and apoptosis molecules (Bcl6, Abtb2) in ovary.
