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

resultsGPR91 mRNA expression was significantly higher in myometrium from women during term spontaneous labor compared to no labor. Likewise, in mice, GPR91 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in myometrium during inflammation-induced preterm labor compared to preterm no labor. In myometrial cells, IL1B and TNF significantly increased GPR91 mRNA expression. Knockdown of GPR91 by siRNA in myometrial cells significantly suppressed the secretion and/or expression of IL1B- and TNF-induced proinflammatory cytokines (GM-CSF, IL1A, IL1B, and IL6) and chemokines (CXCL8 and CCL2), myometrial contractility (expression of the contraction-associated proteins PTGFR and CX43, secretion of the uterotonic PGF

conclusionOur findings demonstrate that GPR91 is involved in the genesis of proinflammatory and prolabor mediators induced by IL1B or TNF and collectively suggest that GPR91 may contribute to augmentation of the labor processes.
