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

Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs), as key components of follicles, orchestrate follicular development and ovarian maturation through bidirectional communication with oocytes and through hormone synthesis. Their dysfunction substantially contributes to female infertility. Post‑translational modifications (PTMs) carry out pivotal roles in the regulation of ovarian physiology and pathology by modulating GC proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and steroid hormone secretion. The present review seeks to summarize the current advances in canonical PTMs such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation and ubiquitination, as well as novel protein modifications such as SUMOylation and lactylation, particularly focusing on their roles in the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of GCs at the molecular level. Moreover, the present review explores how aberrant PTMs impair GC function, leading to follicular developmental disorders, and proposes that targeting PTM‑regulated signaling in GCs may provide novel therapeutic strategies for ovarian dysfunction. Collectively, the present review aims to provide insights into elucidating the etiology of infertility, and establishing a theoretical foundation for the development of PTM‑targeted reproductive interventions.
