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

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathological physiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Mitochondrial quality control system is vital to maintaining mitochondrial function, includes mitochondrial biosynthesis, dynamics and mitophagy. While mitophagy as a specific autophagy, plays an important role in the mitochondrial quality control system and is mediated by some signaling pathways to eliminate the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α/B-cell lymphoma-2 adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3). Our previous studies have found that excessive production of ROS and the decreased expression of HIF-1α in the ovaries of PCOS rats. Thus, we hypothesized that excessive ROS leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, attenuates HIF-1α/BNIP3-mediated mitophagy in the ovaries of PCOS rats, and further reduces the mitophagic defense. Firstly, the oxidative stress status was detected and found excessive ROS damages ovarian tissue in PCOS rats. Secondly, the marker proteins of mitochondrial biosynthesis/dynamics and amount were examined and found that their expression levels were abnormal, which showed that the abnormal mitochondrial quality control system leads to accumulate the excess or damaged mitochondria in PCOS ovaries. Finally, we detected the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway and found HIF-1α-mediated mitophagy is impaired in the ovaries of PCOS rats. Together, these results clearly demonstrated excessive ROS causes mitochondrial dysfunction via the abnormal mitochondrial quality control system, and attenuates HIF-1α/BNIP3-mediated mitophagic defense in the granulosa cells of PCOS rats, which will provide a new direction for further understanding the role of HIF-1α in the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction in PCOS ovaries.
