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

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secreted by adenohypophyseal cells plays an important role in the regulation of reproduction, but whether microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the secretion of FSH remains unclear. In the present study, we predicted and screened miRNAs that might act on the follicle-stimulating hormone beta-subunit (FSHb) gene of rats using the TargetScan program and luciferase reporter assays, and the results identified two miRNAs, miR-21-3p and miR-433. We then transfected these miRNAs into rat anterior adenohypophyseal cells and assessed the FSHb expression levels in and FSH secretion by the transfected cells through quantitative PCR and ELISA. The results showed that both miR-21-3p and miR-433 down-regulated the expression levels of FSHb and resulted in the decrease of the secretion of FSH compared with the control group, and treatment with miR-21-3p and miR-433 inhibitors up-regulated the expression levels of FSHb and resulted in the increase of the secretion of FSH. Taken together, our results indicate that miR-21-3p and miR-433 can down-regulate the expression of FSHb by directly targeting the FSHb 3'UTR in rat primary pituitary cells. Our findings provide evidence that miRNAs can regulate FSHb expression and further affect the secretion of FSH and might contribute to the use of miRNAs for the regulation of animal reproduction.
