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 one of the first organs in humans to exhibit age-related functional impairments. As an organ composed of diverse heterogeneous cell types, the ovary exhibits cell-type-specific changes during the aging process, ultimately leading to a decline in female fertility. Investigating the molecular mechanisms of ovarian aging is crucial for understanding age-related fertility dysfunction in females. In this study, we combine scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq from mouse young/aged ovaries to characterize molecular features during ovarian aging. Using the single-cell multi-omic data, we revealed the cell-type-specific transcriptional changes during the aging process in seven major ovarian cell types and identified the cis/trans-regulatory elements governing these transcriptional changes. Specifically, we uncovered the transcriptional alterations of TGF-beta signaling in mesenchymal cells and endoplasmic reticulum stress in granulosa cells of aged mouse ovaries and further identified the potential corresponding cis/trans-regulatory elements. These molecular alterations may contribute to aging-induced functional impairments in mouse ovaries. In summary, this work provides transcriptome and chromatin accessibility landscape of ovarian aging in mice, which serve as a resource for identifying the cell-type-specific molecular mechanisms underlying ovarian aging, aiding in the identification of potential diagnostic biomarkers and treatment strategies.
