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

backgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is a widespread progressive condition that can occur pregnancy and is related to high maternal morbidity and fetal mortality in the perinatal period. However, the exact mechanism responsible has not been specific. Accumulating evidence has highlighted the prominent role of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the biological behaviors of PE.

methodsWe explored the role of a lincRNA in extravillous trophoblast (EVTs) cell viability, migration, invasion and apoptosis

resultsWe uncovered that linc00468 was downregulated in PE samples compared to in healthy tissues and in trophoblast cells. Functionally, gain and loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that linc00468 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion and linc00468 accelerated apoptosis of the trophoblast phenotype in cell lines. Moreover, we demonstrated that downregulation of linc00468 promoted the expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin but reduced the expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin and Snail, resulting in progression of EMT.

conclusionsIn conclusion, linc00468 promoted EMT and a consequent increase in invasiveness in HTR-8/Svneo and JAR EVT cell lines. Our study provides the first evidence that linc00468 has a pivotal role in cell invasion and promotes intrinsic and extrinsic EMT ability of PE.
