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

backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) impairs endometrial receptivity, contributing to reproductive dysfunction. Our previous work identified ferroptosis-related dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) as a key regulator of endometrial receptivity in PCOS, though its mechanism remained unclear.

objectiveWe aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism of DPP4 in the occurrence and tolerance of endometrial ferroptosis in PCOS.

methodsUsing high dose (HD) DHEA-induced rats and hormone-treated (E2 and HD DHEA) telomerase-immortalized human endometrial stromal cells (T-HESCs), we investigated DPP4's role in endometrial ferroptosis and receptivity. We evaluated the correlation of specific endometrial marker expression levels with reproductive outcomes.

resultsPhenotypic assessments revealed elevated endometrial Fe

conclusionReducing DPP4 expression not only inhibited ferroptosis but also improved the PCOS phenotype of the endometrium, ultimately influencing changes in endometrial receptivity, and indicating the ferroptosis-related protein DPP4 as a promising therapeutic target.
