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

backgroundThis study aims at investigating the effect of growth hormone (GH) on the growth of human endometrial glandular cells (hEGCs) and preliminary exploring its mechanism.

methodsHEGCs were isolated from the endometrial biopsies and exposed to different dose of GH (0, 50, 100, and 200 ng/mL). Cell proliferation and cell cycle assay, migration assay was performed to investigate the growth and motivation of hEGCs, respectively. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and western blot (WB) were processed to investigate its related gene or protein expression.

resultsThe results revealed that GH administration promoted the proliferation, cell cycle, migration, and growth hormone receptors (GHRs) expression of the hEGC. We further inhibited GHRs with AG490, and the inhibitor reversed the effects of GH on cell growth, motion, and the activation of GHR and STAT3/5.

conclusionsGH promoted hEGCs proliferation and motion, which is GHR-JAK-STAT3/5 signaling pathway-dependent. These findings reveal the essential roles of GH in the hEGCs growth and provide evidence for potential GH therapy in intrauterine adhesion (IUA) treatment.
