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

The ovary is indispensable for female reproduction, and its age-dependent functional decline is the primary cause of infertility. However, the molecular basis of ovarian aging in higher vertebrates remains poorly understood. Herein, we apply spatiotemporal transcriptomics to benchmark architecture organization as well as cellular and molecular determinants in young primate ovaries and compare these to aged primate ovaries. From a global view, somatic cells within the non-follicle region undergo more pronounced transcriptional fluctuation relative to those in the follicle region, likely constituting a hostile microenvironment that facilitates ovarian aging. Further, we uncovered that inflammation, the senescent-associated secretory phenotype, senescence, and fibrosis are the likely primary contributors to ovarian aging (PCOA). Of note, we identified spatial co-localization between a PCOA-featured spot and an unappreciated MT2 (Metallothionein 2) highly expressing spot (MT2high) characterized by high levels of inflammation, potentially serving as an aging hotspot in the primate ovary. Moreover, with advanced age, a subpopulation of MT2high accumulates, likely disseminating and amplifying the senescent signal outward. Our study establishes the first primate spatiotemporal transcriptomic atlas, advancing our understanding of mechanistic determinants underpinning primate ovarian aging and unraveling potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for aging and age-associated human ovarian disorders.
