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

Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation, in which elongated fibroblast-like endometrial stromal cells differentiate into more rounded decidual cells. Accumulating evidence has stressed the important role of the defective eutopic endometrium in infertility in endometriosis patients. However, the role of arginine methylation in the process of physiological decidualization and pathological decidualization defects is not clear. Here, we observed that the expression level of PRMT5, the main type II PRMT, was decreased in the endometrium of endometriosis patients, predominantly in stromal cells. Compared with the undecidualized state, PRMT5 was increased in the stromal cells of normal secretory endometrium in humans and in the decidua of normal pregnant mice or mice with artificially induced decidualization. The inhibition of PRMT5 resulted in a significant decrease in uterine weight and decidualization-related regulator expression, including FOXO1, HOXA10 and WNT4, in mice and IGFBP1 and prolactin levels in human endometrial stromal cells. Transcriptome analysis showed that decreased PRMT5 activity led to NF-κB signaling activation by inducing p65 translocation to the nucleus, which was also observed in endometriosis patients. Finally, overexpression of PRMT5 rescued the defective expression of IGFBP1 and prolactin in primary endometrial stromal cells from endometriosis patients. Our results indicate that promotion of PRMT5 may provide novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of decidualization defects in infertile women, such as those with endometriosis.
