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

Dysmenorrhea, the most prevalent gynecologic complaint among adolescent females, often has unclear underlying causes. However, it is widely recognized that the accumulation of estrogen and prostaglandins mediates inflammatory responses, leading to uterine ischemia and pelvic pain. Emerging evidence highlights the significant role of intestinal flora as a key regulator of circulating estrogens, linking it to estrogen-modulated diseases. Our laboratory previously demonstrated that sclareol effectively alleviates uterine proliferation and mitigates pain. Nonetheless, the relationship between sclareol's effects and gut microbiota modulation in dysmenorrhea remains unverified. To investigate this, we employed a mouse model induced with high doses of estradiol (1 mg/kg, IP) and administered sclareol (50 mg/kg, gavage) for five days. Fecal samples were subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing to analyze gut microbial composition. While no significant changes in alpha or beta diversity were observed, this study provides pioneering insights into sclareol's impact on specific gut microbiota. Notably, sclareol treatment increased the abundances of
