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

objectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanism of PPARγ impacting the paroxysm of endometriosis.

methodsImmunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and Western Blot were used to determine the expression level of PPARγ and MAT2A in Eu, Ec and normal endometrial tissue (control). ESC and NSC were separately isolated. PPARγ was silenced in NSC and was up-regulated in ESC. Rosiglitazone (RSG) were used to incubate with ESC. Proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and ultrastructure of cells were evaluated in vitro. The combination between PPARγ and the promoters of MAT2A was detected by dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsMAT2A was up-regulated and PPARγ was down-regulated in Eu and Ec. The cell viability and the ability of migration and invasion declined greatly after up-regulating the expression of PPARγ or treating with RSG in ESC. Meanwhile, the expression level of MAT2A was significantly inhibited. Plenty of vacuoles and classical morphological changes of apoptotic cells were observed in the ESC with PPARγ over-expressed. The cell viability and the ability of migration and invasion of NSC with PPARγ silenced were promoted greatly. Meanwhile, the expression level of MAT2A was significantly up-regulated.

conclusionThe paroxysm and development of endometriosis were impacted by over-expressing PPARγ or introducing of RSG by inhibiting the transcription of MAT2A.
