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

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility and is strongly linked to mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) in reproductive-age women. MD contributes to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, exacerbating disease progression. This study aimed to identify key MD-related genes (MDRGs) involved in PCOS through bioinformatics analyses and experimental validation. Two PCOS transcriptome datasets (GSE34526 and GSE5850) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were then intersected with MDRGs to obtain MD-related DEGs (MDDEGs). Functional enrichment (GO, KEGG, GSEA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses identified eight hub MDDEGs (MMP9, PPP1 CA, PSMD12, LIFR, PRKAA1, ITGAM, SUCLA2, GPBAR1). A rat PCOS model was established to validate hub gene expression via RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The experimental data confirmed that seven hub genes exhibited consistent expression patterns with GSE34526 (P < 0.05), while only PRKAA1 and LIFR matched GSE5850 findings. Additionally, ROC analysis for the five most significant genes (LIFR, PBK, PRKAA1, RCAN1, MMP9) demonstrated promising diagnostic value (AUC > 0.85). This study highlights the role of MD in shaping the immune microenvironment of PCOS and identifies novel molecular targets for potential therapeutic interventions.
