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 a complex reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic disorder in reproductive-age women. In order to explore the active metabolites of brown adipose tissue (BAT) transplantation in improving the reproductive and metabolic phenotypes in a PCOS rat model, the metabolites in the recipient's BAT were explored using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique. In total, 9 upregulated and 13 downregulated metabolites were identified. They were roughly categorized into 12 distinct classes, mainly including glycerophosphoinositols, glycerophosphocholines, and sphingolipids. Ingenuity pathway analysis predicted that these differentially metabolites mainly target the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and Wnt signaling pathways, which are closely associated with PCOS. Furthermore, one of these differential metabolites, sphingosine belonging to sphingolipids, was randomly selected for further experiments on a human granulosa-like tumor cell line (KGN). It significantly accelerated the apoptosis of KGN cells induced by dihydrotestosterone. Based on these findings, we speculated that metabolome changes are an important process for BAT transplantation in improving PCOS. It might be a novel therapeutic target for PCOS treatment.
