The Role of Cytokines in the Development and Functioning of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis in Mammals in Normal and Pathological Conditions.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
This review analyzes data on the effect of cytokines on the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis at all levels during pre- and postnatal ontogenesis under physiological and pathological conditions in humans and other mammals. Changes in cytokine physiological balance, associated with stress, inflammation, aging, and metabolic syndromes, affect the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, a key regulator of the HPG axis, as well as the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, gonadal steroidogenesis, and gametogenesis in both males and females. Special attention is given to proinflammatory cytokines, the levels of which increase under the influence of infectious agents. Their impact on the development of the fetal brain and HPG axis is examined, as are the ensuing long-term consequences for HPG axis function. The study of cytokine contribution to the development and function of the HPG axis opens up broad prospects for reproductive disorder prevention during early ontogenesis.
