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

backgroundGranulosa cell proliferation and survival are essential for normal ovarian function and follicular development. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation. Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been implicated in various cellular processes, but its role in granulosa cell function remains unclear.

methodsWe investigated the function of lncRNA NEAT1 in human ovarian granulosa-like tumor cells (KGN). The effects of NEAT1 overexpression or silencing on cell proliferation and cell cycle were evaluated using CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry. The interaction between NEAT1, miR-29a-3p, and IGF1 was examined using dual-luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR, and Western blot analysis.

resultsNEAT1 promoted granulosa cell proliferation and cell cycle progression by indirectly upregulated IGF1 expression through acting as a molecular sponge for miR-29a-3p. Cell proliferation and G2/M phase proportions were increased by overexpression of NEAT1, whereas cell proliferation and G2/M phase proportions decreased with NEAT1 silencing. The effects of NEAT1 on cell proliferation and cell cycle-related proteins (CCNB1 and CDK2) were partially reversed by miR-29a-3p mimic, while miR-29a-3p inhibitor rescued the effects of NEAT1 silencing.

conclusionLncRNA NEAT1 could promote ovarian granulosa cell proliferation and cell cycle progression via the miR-29a-3p/IGF1 axis in polycystic ovary syndrome. Further investigation of this mechanism in clinical samples may have implications for understanding ovarian physiology and pathology.
