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

The weakening of extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion results in shallow placenta implantation. In HTR8/SVneo cells, IFN-γ can activate STAT1 and reduce cell invasion, and suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) is an important negative regulatory protein in the Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT activator pathway and has a negative feedback function on JAK/STAT1. The aim of the present study was to elucidate how SOCS1 feedback regulates JAK/STAT1 and affects EVT cell invasion, which in turn affects the development of preeclampsia (PE). MTT and Annexin V/phosphatidylserine (PS) assays were performed to evaluate the viability and apoptosis of HTR8/SVneo cells treated with IFN-γ, respectively. Wound healing and invasion assays were also conducted to measure the migratory and invasive abilities of IFN-γ-treated HTR8/SVneo cells. The mRNA and protein expression levels of genes were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. Small interfering RNA knockdown of SOCS1 was used to verify the role of feedback regulation in the IFN-γ-activated JAK/STAT1 signaling pathway. IFN-γ can inhibit HTR8/SVneo migration and invasion, and promote apoptosis by increasing the expression of phosphorylated (p)-JAK, p-STAT1 and caspase3, and reducing the expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor A and Ezrin. Furthermore, SOCS1 may negatively regulate JAK/STAT1 and affect HTR-8/SVneo invasiveness. Evaluation of clinical samples demonstrated that the expression levels of SOCS1 and IFN-γ were higher in patients with PE compared with the healthy group. Collectively, the present results indicated that IFN-γ reduced the invasion of HTR-8/SVneo cells by activating JAK/STAT1, concurrently leading to an increase in SOCS1, which negatively regulates JAK/STAT1 and eliminates the pro-inflammatory effects of IFN-γ, thus forming a feedback loop.
