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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine whether pre-treatment with everolimus or rapamycin could prevent ovarian follicle damage induced by cyclophosphamide (Cp).

methodsA total of 120 female BDF-1 mice were randomly assigned into four groups receiving specific treatments. The control group received normal saline on days 1, 3, 5, and 13. The Cp group received saline on days 1, 3, and 5, followed by Cp administration on day 13. The everolimus+Cp group was given everolimus on days 1, 3, and 5, then Cp on day 13. Similarly, the rapamycin+Cp group received rapamycin on days 1, 3, and 5, followed by Cp on day 13. On day 20, all mice were euthanized, ovaries were harvested for histological analysis, and protein expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BCL-xL), caspase 3, and mammalian target of rapamycin were evaluated by Western blot analysis.

resultsThe number of primordial follicles was lower in the Cp group than in the control group. The everolimus group and the rapamycin group also showed reduced primordial follicle counts. No significant differences were observed in the proportions of G1 primordial or G1 secondary follicles among the groups. Compared to the control group, the Cp group and the everolimus group showed lower proportions of G1 primary follicles. However, the rapamycin group had a G1 primary follicle proportion similar to that of the control group. The Cp, everolimus, and rapamycin groups exhibited lower proportions of G1 antral follicles than the control group.

conclusionPre-treatment with rapamycin preserved the proportion of G1 primary follicles; however, neither everolimus nor rapamycin preserved the primordial follicle counts.
