Endometrial Aging and Reproductive Decline: The Central Role of Mitochondrial Dysfunction.
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 16 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
Socioeconomic factors have led an increasing number of women to postpone childbirth, thereby elevating the risks of reduced fertility, pregnancy complications, preterm birth, cesarean delivery, and chromosomal abnormalities. While diminished oocyte quality is a well-established contributor to age-related infertility, endometrial dysfunction also plays a pivotal role. Optimizing both oocyte quality and endometrial health is essential for enhancing reproductive outcomes. Although aging has been defined by twelve hallmarks, research specifically addressing age-related changes in endometrial function remains limited. This review examines the process of endometrial aging, with a particular emphasis on mitochondrial function. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies published up to 31 January 2025. Endometrial aging is driven by multiple biological mechanisms, most notably the decline in endometrial receptivity. Key contributing factors include hormonal dysregulation, chronic inflammation, cell cycle arrest, genomic instability, epigenetic alterations, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Among these, mitochondrial dysfunction emerges as a central driver of the aging process. Endometrial senescence, precipitated by irreversible mitochondrial impairment, may underlie the progressive decline in reproductive potential. Elucidating the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in aging provides critical insights into the molecular basis of fertility decline, particularly through its impact on endometrial receptivity.
