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

Genomic instability is a key driver of ovarian aging, impairing granulosa cell (GC) function and diminishing ovarian reserve. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying GC genomic homeostasis remain poorly defined. This study investigates the novel role of DELTEX2 (DTX2) in maintaining GC genomic stability and its underlying mechanism in the DNA damage response during ovarian aging. Our data show that telomere length was significantly shortened in both ovarian tissues and isolated GCs from aged mice. Meanwhile, DTX2 was markedly downregulated in aged ovaries, while it was highly expressed in GCs. To investigate the functional role of DTX2 in GCs, we performed knockdown and overexpression experiments in the human ovarian granulosa-like tumor cell line (KGN). DTX2 knockdown compromises genomic stability in GCs, as evidenced by reduced telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression, accelerated telomere shortening, elevated micronucleus formation, and ultimately suppressed cell proliferation coupled with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. DTX2 overexpression upregulates TERT transcription and effectively mitigates DNA damage, as evidenced by reduced γH2AX levels and fewer micronuclei, ultimately enhancing GC proliferation and suppressing apoptosis under H
