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

objectivesNCOA6 is a transcription coactivator; its deletion in mice results in growth retardation and lethality between 8.5 and 12.5 dpc with defects in the placenta. However, the transcription factor(s) and the mechanism(s) involved in the function of NCOA6 in placentation have not been elucidated. Here, the roles of NCOA6 in human cytotrophoblast invasion and migration were studied. MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman placenta tissues were collected from normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by early-onset severe preeclampsia (sPE). Immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to determine NCOA6 expression. Transwell invasion/migration assays were performed to explore whether NCOA6 knockdown affected human placenta-derived HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion/migration. Gelatin zymography was performed to examine the change in the gelatinolytic activities of secreted MMP2 and MMP9. Luciferase reporter assays were used to explore whether NCOA6 coactivated NF-κB-mediated MMP9 transcription.

resultsNCOA6 is mainly expressed in the human placental trophoblast column, as well as in the EVTs. HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion and migration were significantly attenuated after NCOA6 knockdown, and the secretion of MMP9 was decreased due to transcriptional suppression. NCOA6 was further found to coactivate NF-κB-mediated MMP9 transcription. Moreover, expression of NCOA6 was impaired in placentas of patients complicated by early-onset sPE.

conclusionsThus, we demonstrated that NCOA6 is important for cytotrophoblast invasion/migration, at least partially, by activating NF-κB-mediated MMP9 transcription; the downregulation of NCOA6 may contribute to the pathogenesis of early-onset sPE.
