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

TGF-β family signaling pathways, including TGF-β and BMP pathways, are widely involved in the regulation of health and diseases through downstream SMADs, which are also regulated by multiple validated mechanisms, such as genetic regulation, epigenetic regulation, and feedback regulation. However, it is still unclear whether R-SMADs or Co-SMAD can feedback regulate the TGF-β family signaling pathways in granulosa cells (GCs). In this study, we report a novel mechanism underlying the feedback regulation of TGF-β family signaling pathways, i.e., SMAD4, the only Co-SMAD, positive feedback activates the TGF-β family signaling pathways in GCs with a basal level of TGF-β ligands by interacting with the core promoters of its upstream receptors. Mechanistically, SMAD4 acts as a transcription factor, and feedback activates the transcription of its upstream receptors, including
