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

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a kind of endocrine disorder which is prevalent in adult women, so exploring more biomarkers for PCOS is imperative. Recently, circular RNA and microRNA are confirmed to be related with PCOS development. Whether circular RNA ASPH (circASPH) is involved in PCOS need to be studied further. We utilized RT-qPCR to measure the expression levels of circASPH, miR-375 and MAP2K6 in PCOS patients and normal group. The effects of circASPH and miR-375 on KGN cells proliferation and apoptosis were observed by CCK-8 assay, EdU incorporation assay and apoptosis assay, separately. Then Dual-luciferase reporter assay was carried out to verify the circASPH/miR375 axis and miR375/MAP2K6 axis. The interaction between circASPH and MAP2K6 were detected with the support of RT-qPCR and Western blot. We found circASPH and MAP2K6 were both over-expressed in PCOS patients, while miR-375 was in the opposite direction. Moreover, miR-375 was negatively regulated by circASPH, while MAP2K6 was positively regulated by circASPH. In addition, circASPH directly targeted miR-375, which targeted MAP2K6. More than that, the knockdown of circASPH repressed KGN cells proliferation and enhanced apoptosis, while the silence of miR-375 reversed the above effects. In conclusion, circASPH promotes KGN cells proliferation through miR-375/MAP2K6 axis in PCOS, and they are thought-provoking biomarkers for PCOS diagnosis and therapy.
