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

Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL) is a significant reproductive health issue, affecting approximately 5% of pregnancies. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) have been reported to play important roles during embryo development and may be related to URPL. To investigate whether and how eRNAs are involved in URPL, we performed RNA sequencing in decidual tissue. Through comprehensive screening and validation, we identified a decidua-enriched eRNA long noncoding-CES1-1 (lnc-CES1-1) enriched in URPL patients and studied its function in decidua-associated cell lines (DACs). Higher expression of lnc-CES1-1 increased the level of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and impaired the cell migration ability, which was attenuated by downregulating peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Upon activation by signal transduction and activation of transcription 4 (STAT4), lnc-CES1-1 interacted with the transcription factor fused in sarcoma (FUS) to upregulate the expression of PPARγ and affected cell migration. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights into the biological functions of decidua-associated lnc-CES1-1 and the molecular mechanisms underlying URPL. Our findings indicated that lnc-CES1-1 might be a potential candidate biomarker for URPL diagnosis and treatment.
