LNK promotes granulosa cell apoptosis in PCOS via negatively regulating insulin-stimulated AKT-FOXO3 pathway.

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
backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is often accompanied by insulin resistance, is closely related to increased apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells. LNK is an important regulator of the insulin signaling pathway. When insulin binds to the receptor, the PI3K/AKT/FOXO signaling pathway is activated, and FOXO translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, thereby inhibiting the expression of pro-apoptotic genes.
methodsGranulosa cells were collected from PCOS patients to investigate the relationship between LNK, cell apoptosis and insulin resistance. KGN cells underwent LNK overexpression/silence and insulin stimulation. The AKT/FOXO3 pathway was studied by western blot and immunofluorescence.
resultsThe level of LNK was higher in PCOS group than control group. LNK was positively correlated with granulosa cell apoptosis and insulin resistance, and negatively correlated with oocyte maturation rate. LNK overexpression in KGN cells inhibited insulin-induced AKT/FOXO3 signaling pathway, causing nucleus translocation of FOXO3 and promoting granulosa cell apoptosis.
conclusionsLNK was closely related to insulin resistance and apoptosis of granulosa cells via the AKT/FOXO3 pathway.
