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

Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometriosis (OE), is a major cause of infertility, often associated with reduced oocyte quality and impaired ovarian function. Iron overload plays a key role in OE progression. This study investigates the effects of iron overload on follicular function in OE-associated infertility (OEI). A single-cell atlas of pre-ovulatory follicular fluid from OEI patients reveals dynamic changes in iron metabolism and iron-induced senescence phenotypes. Spatial transcriptomics using Stereo-seq in iron-overloaded mouse ovaries further identifies localized senescence features. Additional analysis of aging human ovaries highlights conserved patterns of iron dysregulation. These findings provide mechanistic insight into iron overload-related ovarian pathology and suggest potential therapeutic targets for improving oocyte quality in OEI.
