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

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by diminished apoptosis, sustained ectopic survival of dysfunctional endometrial cells. Hypoxia has been implicated as a crucial microenvironmental factor that contributes to endometriosis. It has been reported that long non-coding RNA MALAT1 (lncRNA-MALAT1) highly expressed in endometriosis and up-regulated by hypoxia. Hypoxia may also induce autophagy, which might act as cell protective mechanism. However, the relationship between lncRNA-MALAT1 and autophagy under hypoxia conditions in endometriosis remains unknown. In the present study, we found that both lncRNA-MALAT1 and autophagy level were up-regulated in ectopic endometrium from patients with endometriosis, and its expression level correlates positively with that of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). In cultured human endometrial stromal cells, both lncRNA-MALAT1 and autophagy were induced by hypoxia in a time-dependent manner and lncRNA-MALAT1 up-regulation was dependent on HIF-1α signalling. Our analyses also show that knockdown of lncRNA-MALAT1 suppressed hypoxia induced autophagy. Furthermore, inhibiting autophagy with specific inhibitor 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) and Beclin1 siRNA enhanced apoptosis of human endometrial stromal cells under hypoxia condition. Collectively, our findings identify that lncRNA-MALAT1 mediates hypoxia-induced pro-survival autophagy of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis.
