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

During goat follicular development, abnormal expression of peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) in granulosa cells (GCs) may contribute to follicular atresia with unknown regulatory mechanisms. In this study, we investigate the effect of ectopic expression or interference of PGC-1α on cell apoptosis of goat first passage granulosa cells (FGCs) in vitro. The results indicate that PGC-1α silencing by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in goat FGCs significantly reduced mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number (P < 0.05), changed mitochondria ultrastructure, and induced cell apoptosis (P < 0.05). The transcription and translation levels of the apoptosis-related genes BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX), caspase 3, and caspase 9 were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, the ratio of BAX/B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) was reduced (P < 0.05), and the release of cytochrome c (cyt c) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05, respectively) in PGC-1α interference goat FGCs. Furthermore, the expression of anti-oxidative related genes superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) was down-regulated (P < 0.05, respectively) and the activity of glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) was inhibited (P < 0.05). While enforced expression of PGC-1α increased the levels of genes involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function and biogenesis, and enhanced the anti-oxidative and anti-apoptosis capacity. Taken together, our results reveal that lack of PGC-1α may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupt the cellular redox balance, thus resulting in goat GCs apoptosis through the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway.
