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

backgroundObesity exacerbates the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), potentially through metabolic alterations. This study investigates how the Kisspeptin/GPR54 signaling pathway mediates mitochondrial energy metabolism in obesity-related CIN.

methodsA clinical analysis of 980 samples was conducted to assess the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and CIN grade. Transcriptomic analysis identified KISS1R as a key gene. Functional assays in cervical cancer (CC) cell lines, including CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays, were used to evaluate the effects of KISS1 modulation. Mitochondrial function was assessed via oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) assays. A high-fat diet-induced CIN mouse model was used to investigate the in vivo effects.

resultsBMI positively correlated with CIN grade, with elevated KISS1R expression in higher CIN grades. Overexpression of KISS1 enhanced CC cell proliferation and migration by reprogramming mitochondrial energy metabolism. In high-fat environments, KISS1 silencing and mitochondrial activator PQQ modulated CC cell behavior. Activation of Kisspeptin/GPR54 in obese CIN mice exacerbated cervical lesions.

conclusionThe Kisspeptin/GPR54 signaling pathway enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism, promoting obesity-related CIN grade. These findings provide a potential molecular mechanism linking obesity to CC and suggest new therapeutic targets.
