Lactate Promotes Hypoxic Granulosa Cells' Autophagy by Activating the HIF-1α/BNIP3/Beclin-1 Signaling Axis.
Article in Genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe avascular nature of the follicle creates a hypoxic microenvironment, establishing a niche where granulosa cells (GCs) rely on glycolysis to produce energy in the form of lactate (L-lactate). Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved stress-response process, involves the formation of autophagosomes to encapsulate intracellular components, delivering them to lysosomes for degradation. This process plays a critical role in maintaining optimal follicular development. However, whether hypoxia regulates autophagy in GCs via lactate remains unclear.
methodsIn this study, we investigated lactate-induced autophagy under hypoxia by utilizing glycolysis inhibitors or silencing related genes.
resultsWe observed a significant increase in autophagy in ovarian GCs under hypoxic conditions, indicated by elevated LC3II levels and reduced P62 levels. Suppressing lactate production through glycolytic inhibitors (2-DG and oxamate) or silencing lactate dehydrogenase (
conclusionsThese findings unveil a novel mechanism by which hypoxia regulates GC autophagy through lactate production, highlighting its potential role in sustaining follicular development under hypoxic conditions.
