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

The number of live births in a litter is an important reproductive trait, and is one of the main indicators which reflect the production level and economic benefit of a pig farm. The ovary is an important reproductive organ of the sow, and it undergoes a series of biological processes during each estrous cycle. A complex transcriptional network containing coding and non-coding RNAs in the ovary closely regulates the reproductive capability of sows. However, the molecular regulation mechanisms affecting sow litter size are still unclear. We investigated the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in porcine ovaries from sows with smaller than average litter sizes (SLS) and those with larger litter sizes (LLS). In total, 411 miRNAs were identified, and of these 17 were significantly down-regulated and 16 miRNAs were up-regulated when comparing sows with LLS and SLS, respectively. We further characterized the role of miR-183 which was one of the most up-regulated miRNAs. CCK-8, EdU incorporation and western blotting assays demonstrated that miR-183 promoted the proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs) in pig ovaries. Moreover, miR-183 inhibited the synthesis of estradiol in GCs and promoted the synthesis of progesterone. These results will help in gaining understanding of the role of miRNAs in regulating porcine litter size.
