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

Kisspeptin (KiSS) and its related receptors (KiSS1R) have a critical role in the reproduction of mammals. The KiSS/KiSS1R system is expressed in numerous reproductive organs including the ovary. Here, we studied the expression of the KiSS/KiSS1R system and its functional role in rabbit corpora lutea (CL) at days 4 (early-), 9 (mid-), and 13 (late-stage) of pseudopregnancy. In vitro progesterone, prostaglandin (PG) F2α (PGF2α) and E2 (PGE2) productions and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) and 2 (PTGS2) activities were evaluated. Immune reactivity (IR) for KiSS and KiSS1R were detected in luteal cells at nuclear and cytoplasmic level at all luteal stage for KiSS and only at early- and mid-stage for KiSS1R; IR decreased from early- to later stages of pseudopregnancy. The KiSS-10 augmented progesterone and PGE2 and diminished PGF2α secretions by early- and mid-CL; KiSS-10 reduced PTGS2 activity at early- and mid-stages, but did not affect PTGS1 at any luteal stages. The antagonist KiSS-234 counteracted all KiSS-10 effects. This study shows that the KiSS/KiSS1R system is expressed in CL of pseudopregnant rabbits and exerts a luteotropic action by down-regulating PTGS2, which decreases PGF2α and increases PGE2 and progesterone.
