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

An important step toward successful pregnancy involves invasion of the trophoblast cells into the decidua for placentation. Herein, we show that in the human and baboon decidua HOXA10 expression is downregulated after implantation and that this reduction is most prominent in the decidual cells juxtaposed to the invading placental villi. The supernatants derived from HOXA10-depleted human decidual cells increase the invasiveness of the trophoblast cell lines ACH-3P and JEG3 in vitro; this increase is due to higher expression and activity of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and reduced expression of tissue inhibitors of MMPs in both the cell lines. The proinvasive ability of HOXA10-depleted decidual cells is due to increased levels and secretion of leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and interleukin (IL)-6. Both these cytokines individually promote invasion of ACH-3P and JEG3 cell by increasing the activities of MMPs and decreasing mRNA levels of TIMPs. Finally, we demonstrate that the supernatants derived from HOXA10-depleted decidual cell-phosphorylated STAT3 (Tyr 705) and knocking down STAT3 in ACH-3P and JEG3 cells restrained the invasion mediated by supernatants derived from HOXA10-depleted decidual cells. These results imply that STAT3 activity is essential and sufficient to promote invasion in response to downregulation of HOXA10 in decidual cells. We propose that downregulation of HOXA10 in the decidual cells promotes the expression of LIF and IL-6, which, in a paracrine manner, activates STAT3 in the trophoblast cells, leading to an increase in MMPs to facilitate invasion.
