Serine inhibits granulosa cell ferroptosis to maintain ovarian function.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cyclophosphamide (CTX) is a primary medicine for curing breast cancer which often causes premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Our recent publication reveals that CTX induces POI by promoting the expression of SLC1A4, a transporter of serine efflux, in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). Here, we report that there is a closed connection between the reduction of serum serine and ovarian hypofunction in the breast cancer patients treated with CTX or women of childbearing age who are suffered from the staying-up-late. Additionally, we observe that dietary serine supplementation protects mice from CTX-induced POI without altering its anti-breast cancer. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the elevated serine promotes S1P synthesis, and in turn, inhibits the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and consequent HO-1 expression, to suppress ferroptosis in GCs. Our study reveals that the chemotherapy-induced or idiopathic POI share the same mechanisms, indicating that serine is a critical factor for maintaining ovarian function.
