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

Related studies have pointed out that Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL4 (KIR2DL4) was associated with vascular remodeling in early pregnancy, and it might play an important role in immunity. In this study, recurrent implantation failure (RIF)-related GSE58144 dataset was extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Firstly, the immune micro-environment analyses were conducted to analyze the pathogenesis of KIR2DL4 in RIF. Then, the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to investigate the function of KIR2DL4. Moreover, the TF-mRNA-miRNA and the co-expression networks were constructed to reveal the potential regulation of KIR2DL4. Furthermore, the genes that were associated with KIR2DL4 and differentially expressed in RIF were obtained and defined as key genes, and the functions of these genes were further explored. KIR2DL4 could be used for clinical diagnosis of RIF, and it was correlated with the changes in the immune micro-environment in RIF. From the perspective of function, KIR2DL4 was associated with complement and coagulation cascades, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, etc. Moreover, the TF-mRNA-miRNA regulatory network was constructed with KIR2DL4, 9 TFs, and 29 miRNAs. Furthermore, KIR2DL4, ACSM1, IL2RB, and PTPN11 were screened as key genes, which were associated with immune-related functions. This study deeply analyzed the function of KIR2DL4 and its role in RIF, and we found that STAT1 might up-regulate KIR2DL4 by INF-γ/JAK2/STAT1 signaling pathway. Besides, over-expressed KIR2DL4 in the mid-luteal endometrium might influence embryo implantation by affecting the embryo implantation microenvironment, which might help deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanism of RIF.
