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

It is estimated that 70-75% of cancer survivors are interested in parenthood with an astounding 80% struggling with reduced fertility. Cancer treatments can deteriorate the ovarian primordial follicular pool and reduce the quality of fertilizable eggs through cytotoxicity and induction of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Cyclophosphamide is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents and is also utilized as an immunosuppressant in autoimmune diseases and in bone marrow transplants. Accordingly, those treated with cyclophosphamide face increased risks of POI and infertility, potentially arising from the toxic effects of its metabolites acrolein and phosphoramide mustard. The downstream accumulation of oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mitochondrial damage, activation of apoptotic pathways, and the disruption of enzymatic and non-enzymatic machinery may facilitate premature follicle activation, follicular apoptosis, and oocyte quality deterioration resulting in the loss of the ovarian reserve and POI. Furthermore, direct disruption of key antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), by acrolein and myeloperoxidase (MPO) may play a key role in ovarian disruption and the worsening oxidative state in those seeking treatment with cyclophosphamide.
