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

Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent mycotoxin in contaminated feed, compromises ovarian function through dual disruption of redox homeostasis and metabolic networks. However, the precise mechanisms underlying DON-induced toxicity and effective strategies to mitigate its reproductive consequences remain incompletely understood. This study reveals the molecular mechanism by which DON induces ferroptosis in porcine granulosa cells through the glycolysis-H3K18la-STEAP3 axis and elucidates how melatonin alleviates DON toxicity via metabolic reprogramming. Multi-omics analyses demonstrate that DON exposure disrupts glycolysis, reduces lactate, and diminished H3K18la. This process is also mediated by the downregulation of P300, a key writer of lactylation, which collectively suppress H3K18la. The loss of H3K18la decreased STEAP3 expression, intracellular iron accumulation, elevated lipid peroxidation, and downregulation of GPX4, ultimately triggering ferroptosis. Furthermore, melatonin restores H3K18la and STEAP3 expression both in vitro and vivo, thereby suppressing ferroptosis and reducing oxidative stress. These findings provide novel molecular targets and therapeutic strategies for DON intoxication.
