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

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by reproductive dysfunction, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and metabolic abnormalities, yet the role of disulfidptosis in granulosa cell injury remains unclear. Here, integrated single-cell and bulk transcriptomic analyses identified granulosa cells as the primary disulfidptosis-associated cell type in the PCOS follicular microenvironment. Disulfidptosis-related genes, including leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat-containing protein (LRPPRC), NDUFS1, and OXSM, were significantly downregulated and associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and redox imbalance. A diagnostic model achieved an AUC of 0.867, while Mendelian randomization identified LRPPRC as a protective factor for PCOS. Functionally, LRPPRC deficiency under glucose deprivation induced NADPH depletion, F-actin collapse, and granulosa cell death, which was rescued by 2-mercaptoethanol but not by apoptosis, ferroptosis, or necroptosis inhibitors.
