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

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by follicular dysplasia, with granulosa cells (GCs) glycolysis playing a pivotal role in this pathology. Although the involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in diverse biological processes of PCOS has been well documented, the molecular mechanism of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in PCOS remains unclear. Methods: In this study, we measured SNHG12 expression in GCs of PCOS patients and healthy controls using RT-PCR and performed correlation analysis between SNHG12 expression and glycolytic markers. Using granulosa-like tumor (KGN) cells, we investigated glycolytic capacity and examined the relationship among SNHG12, PTEN and HMGB1 through RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. Finally, DHEA-induced PCOS mice was constructed using SNHG12 adenovirus to explore its role in PCOS. Results: SNHG12 expression was significantly downregulated in GCs from PCOS patients compared with healthy controls, and showed positive correlation with glycolytic markers. Functional studies demonstrated that SNHG12 knockdown impaired glycolysis in KGN cells, while SNHG12 overexpression partially restored glycolysis. Furthermore, SNHG12-induced glycolysis affected apoptosis of KGN cells, which mediated follicular dysplasia through lactate production and apoptotic pathways. Conclusion: Our findings collectively demonstrate that the SNHG12/HMGB1/PTEN axis serves as a novel regulatory mechanism in PCOS by modulating glycolytic-mediated follicular dysplasia in GCs, offering a potential therapeutic target for PCOS.
