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

objectivesPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) serves as an HMGA2 target gene to promote the proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs). However, it is still unclear whether IGF2BP2 participates in the pathogenesis of PCOS as RNA binding protein (RBP). In this study, we aimed to elucidate IGF2BP2-interacting transcripts, global transcriptome together with alternative splicing in GCs to eventually uncover potential mechanisms of PCOS pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of IGF2BP2 in GCs from PCOS patients was detected using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot. We captured IGF2BP2-interacting transcripts, global transcriptome together with alternative splicing by RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). KGN cells transfected with IGF2BP2 overexpressing plasmids and nuclear factor 1 C-type (NFIC) siRNAs, were applied to CCK-8, EdU and TUNEL assays.

resultsIGF2BP2 was highly expressed in GCs from PCOS patients. As an RBP, it preferentially bound to the 3'and 5'UTRs of mRNAs with GGAC motif and a newly found GAAG motif. The overexpression of IGF2BP2 changed the transcriptome profile of KGN cells. IGF2BP2 functioned to regulate alternative splicing events and promote cell proliferation through inhibiting exon skipping events of NFIC.

conclusionIn conclusion, we demonstrated that IGF2BP2 promotes GC proliferation via regulating alternative splicing of NFIC in PCOS. The findings help to better understand the roles of IGF2BP2 in the pathogenesis of PCOS.
