Upregulated RPA2 in endometrial tissues of repeated implantation failure patients impairs the endometrial decidualization.

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.
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
purposeTo investigate the expression and underlying mechanism of RPA2 in endometrium of patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF).
methodsIn this study, we retrieved the expression profiles from GEO databases and filtered the differentially expressed genes between RIF and the fertile control group. Ultimately, RPA2 was confirmed as a target gene. RPA2 expression in endometrial tissues of RIF patients, the control group, and different phases was detected by RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. The role of RPA2 in endometrial decidualization was performed by in vitro decidualization inducing by 8-Br-cAMP and MPA. Furthermore, RT-qPCR was used to detect changes in the decidual biomarkers after transfection of RPA2 overexpression vector in human endometrium stromal cell (HESC).
resultsRPA2 was significantly upregulated in the mid-secretory endometrium of patients with RIF. As a proliferation-related gene, RPA2 was obviously higher expressed at proliferative phase during the normal menstrual cycles. Moreover, the downregulation of RPA2 was discovered during decidualization of HESC. Furthermore, RPA2 overexpression impaired decidualization by inhibiting the expression of prolactin (PRL) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1).
conclusionsOur finding indicated that aberrant upregulation of RPA2 attenuated decidualization of HESC in RIF women and provided new potential therapeutic targets.
