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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lncRNA LINC00477 in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially the impacts of LINC00477 on the proliferation and migration of human granulosa cells and the related mechanisms.

methodsqRT-PCR analysis was performed to examine the expression pattern of LINC00477 in serum samples of PCOS patients as well as PCOS animal models. The effect of LINC00477 on the viability and apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells was detected by MTT and flow cytometry assays. The correlation between LINC00477 and miR-128 was verified by bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Finally, rescue assays were performed to analyze the effects of the LINC00477-miR-128 axis on the biological behaviors of granulosa cells.

resultsLINC00477 was significantly upregulated in the serum of PCOS patients as well as PCOS mouse models. LINC00477 overexpression inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of granulosa cells, whereas knockdown of LINC00477 yielded the opposite effects. Moreover, miR-128 mimics partially abrogated the effect of LINC00477 on granulosa cells.

conclusionLINC00477 may function as a ceRNA to inhibit proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells by modulating miR-128 expression.
