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

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a kind of mental disorder characterized by persistent low emotions in puerperium. The most significant physiological change in postpartum is lactation which is regulated by oxytocin receptor (OXTR). However, whether OXTR is related to pathological process of PPD and the potential mechanism still remain unclear. In the present study, we prepared hormone-simulated pregnancy (HSP)-induced PPD mouse model and found that the protein level of OXTR in hippocampus of PPD model mice was down-regulated and Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome was activated. We identified five long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) related to PPD by transcriptome sequencing, including three up-regulated and two down-regulated. The five lncRNAs were associated with the signaling pathway of OXTR according to the bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, we focused on one of the five lncRNAs, Gm14205, and found that it targeted OXTR which inhibited astrocytic NLRP3 inflammasome activation in hippocampal primary astrocytes. These findings illustrate that OXTR has protective effects in PPD by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and provides a new strategy for targeting lncRNA Gm14205 in the pathogenesis of PPD.
