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

As a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial, black phosphorus (BP) has attracted considerable interest for applications in various fields. Despite its advantages, including biodegradability and biocompatibility, recent studies have shown that BP exhibits cytotoxicity in different types of cells. However, no studies have investigated the effects of BP exposure during pregnancy. Herein, we first investigated the effect of gestational exposure to BP nanoparticles (BPNPs) in a mouse model. Our findings indicated that BPNPs exposure restricted fetal growth and hindered placental development. In HTR8/SVneo trophoblast cells, BPNPs inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and caused apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, BPNPs induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and extensive mitochondrial damage. We further demonstrated that BPNPs promoted mitophagy via the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway. Parkin siRNA knockdown rescued BPNPs-induced trophoblast dysfunction, while ROS inhibition attenuated BPNPs-induced cytotoxicity by reducing mitochondrial damage. Finally, treatment with mdivi-1, a mitophagy inhibitor, mitigated mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, excessive mtROS production, and the resulting trophoblast dysfunction.
