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

Multiple pieces of evidence illustrate that impaired trophoblast function results in preeclampsia (PE), and migration/invasion of human trophoblast cells is stringently regulated by extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Many studies have indicated abnormal expressions of placental ECM components are associated with preeclampsia. However, the change and influence of lumican, a vital member of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, on trophoblast cells during preeclampsia remain unclear. This study examines the possibility that the roles of lumican in trophoblast cells contribute to PE. To address this issue, the expression of lumican in human placental tissues was observed using immunohistochemistry, fluorescence quantitative PCR, and Western blot technology. After the HTR-8/SVneo cell line was transfected with pcDNA3.1-human lumican, pGPU6-human lumican shRNA, and their negative controls, the impact of lumican on the HTR-8/SVneo cell line was investigated. Lumican was expressed in human placental tissues. Compared with the control group, its expression was significantly lower in PE placentas. Lumican downregulation inhibited cell proliferation significantly and reduced Bcl-2 expression, but increased P53 expression. These results indicate that the downregulation of placental lumican may drive PE development via promoting the downregulation of Bcl-2 expression and upregulation of P53.
