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

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) represents the cessation of ovarian function before age 40 due to follicular depletion or dysfunction. Affecting 1% of women, POI causes infertility and systemic health complications. Current treatments focus on symptom management rather than restoring ovarian function. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer promising regenerative potential through paracrine activity, immunomodulation, and tissue repair mechanisms. MSCs from various sources have demonstrated the ability to improve ovarian function, increase follicular survival, and restore hormone production in preclinical models. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles are emerging as cell-free alternatives with similar therapeutic effects. This review examines MSC mechanisms in ovarian restoration, evaluates current evidence, and discusses challenges in clinical translation for POI treatment.
