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

Cytokines play key roles in a variety of reproductive processes including normal parturition as well as preterm birth. Our previous data have shown that MAFF, a member of the MAF family of bZIP transcription factors, is rapidly induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines in PHM1-31 myometrial cells. We performed loss-of-function studies in PHM1-31 cells to identify MAFF dependent genes. We showed that knockdown of MAFF significantly decreased CXCL1 chemokine and CSF3 cytokine transcript and protein levels. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation analyzes, we confirmed CXCL1 and CSF3 genes as direct MAFF targets. We also demonstrated that MAFF function in PHM1-31 myometrial cells is able to control cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase gene expression in THP-1 monocytic cells in a paracrine fashion. Our studies provide valuable insights into the MAFF dependent transcriptional network governing myometrial cell function. The data suggest a role of MAFF in parturition and/or infection-induced preterm labour through modulation of inflammatory processes in the microenvironment.
