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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous, non-coding RNAs which can bind to completely or partially complementary sequences in the 3'UTR of target mRNAs, therefore degrading the mRNA or repressing translation. We previously reported that miR-378 played a role in estradiol production via suppression of aromatase translation in porcine granulosa cells and could affect oocyte maturation in vitro by inhibiting cumulus cell expansion. However, the role of miR-378 on ovary development in vivo is unknown. The current study aimed to uncover the molecular mechanism of miR-378 in regulating mouse follicular development via micro-injection of CMV-miR-378 lentivirus into the bursa of mouse ovary. The results showed that CMV-miR-378 lentivirus transduction in the mouse ovaries resulted in reduced ovary size, extended oestrous cycle (6-7 d in miR-378 overexpression group and 4-5 dyas in GFP control group) due to continuous oestrum, decreased percentage of oocytes in vitro maturation rate (IVM 60.8% vs. 89.4% in GFP control), increased apoptosis rate (Bax/Bcl2 in mRNA and protein level), decreased expression of genes associated with gap junction, such as connexin 43 (Cx-43) and connexin (Cx-37) and decreased expression of genes associated with follicular development, such as BMP15 and GDF9. Moreover, the number of pups/litter was consistently lower in the miR-378 group in each batch of the paired breeding. Our data suggest that miR-378 alters gene expression in cumulus cells and indirectly influences oocyte maturation competency, possibly via inhibition of oocyte-cumulus interaction or induction of apoptosis.
