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

Timely and accurate translation of maternal mRNA is essential for oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of Primordial Germ cell 7 (PGC7) as a maternal factor in maintaining DNA methylation of maternally imprinted loci in zygotes. However, it is still unknown whether PGC7 is involved in the regulation of Maternal mRNA Translation. In this study, we have identified that PGC7-AKT1-YBX1 axis is involved in promoting the translation of maternal mRNAs. PGC7 not only sustains AKT1 activity by counteracting PP2A dephosphorylation and facilitating PDK1-AKT1 binding but also assists AKT1 in phosphorylating the translation inhibitor YBX1. In the absence of PGC7, despite increased PIK3CA expression and AKT1 phosphorylation, AKT1 is unable to phosphorylate YBX1. PGC7 facilitates the interaction between AKT1 and YBX1, enhancing YBX1-Serine 100 phosphorylation, which leads to YBX1 dissociation from eIF4E, thereby activating the translation of maternal Cyclin B1 and YAP1. The findings demonstrate the indispensability of PGC7 for translation activation in mammalian oocytes and provide a potential network regulated by PGC7 in early oogenesis.
