Mitophagy suggesting a possible association with oocyte maturation: A study of granulosa cells from follicular fluid of normoresponder and diminished ovarian reserve cases.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ObjectiveThis study investigated mitophagy, a kind of mitochondrial dysfunction, as a biomarker for oocyte maturation by analyzing granulosa cells from follicular fluid in normoresponder (NOR) and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) cases. The aim was to evaluate the expression of mitochondrial dynamics genes, Mitofusin-1 (MFN-1), Mitofusin-2 (MFN-2), and PARKIN, in granulosa cells surrounding oocytes at Metaphase I (MI) and Metaphase II (MII) stages.MethodsIn this experimental study, follicular fluid samples were collected from 30 NOR and 30 DOR women undergoing IVF and subdivided according to MI and MII oocyte maturation stages. Granulosa cells were isolated, morphologically assessed, and analyzed for gene expression using qRT-PCR.ResultsNOR MII granulosa cells exhibited the healthiest morphology and highest cell numbers, while DOR MI samples showed the most degeneration. MFN-1 expression was significantly decreased in DOR MI compared to NOR MI, while MFN-2 was higher in DOR MI and NOR MII. PARKIN expression was lower in DOR compared to NOR in both MI and MII. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships among MFN-1, MFN-2, and PARKIN in NOR MII.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that mitophagy-related gene expression profiles in granulosa cells may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for predicting oocyte quality and embryo development in IVF.
