Berberine Protects Against Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Human Ovarian Granulosa Cell Injury and Ferroptosis by Regulating the Circ_0097636/MiR-186-5p/SIRT3 Pathway.

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.
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 ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine syndrome in women of reproductive age. Berberine (BBR) is a Chinese herbal monomer that exhibits many pharmacological properties related to PCOS treatment. This study aims to analyze the effect of BBR on a cell model of PCOS and the underlying mechanism. Human ovarian granulosa (KGN) cells were treated with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to mimic a PCOS cell model. The RNA expression of circ_0097636, miR-186-5p, and sirtuin3 (SIRT3) was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein expression was detected by western blotting. Cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were investigated by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay and flow cytometry assay, respectively. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Fe
