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

Prolactin-releasing Peptide (PrRP) is a neuropeptide whose receptor is GPR10. Recently, the regulatory role of PrRP in the neuroendocrine field has attracted increasing attention. However, the influence of PrRP on macrophages, the critical housekeeper in the neuroendocrine field, has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated the effect of PrRP on the transcriptome of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with RNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and molecular simulation. BMDMs were exposed to PrRP (18 h) and were subjected to RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were acquired, followed by GO, KEGG, and PPI analysis. Eight qPCR-validated DEGs were chosen as hub genes. Next, the three-dimensional structures of the proteins encoded by these hub genes were modeled by Rosetta and Modeller, followed by molecular dynamics simulation by the Gromacs program. Finally, the binding modes between PrRP and hub proteins were investigated with the Rosetta program. PrRP showed no noticeable effect on the morphology of macrophages. A total of 410 DEGs were acquired, and PrRP regulated multiple BMDM-mediated functional pathways. Besides, the possible docking modes between PrRP and hub proteins were investigated. Moreover, GPR10 was expressed on the cell membrane of BMDMs, which increased after PrRP exposure. Collectively, PrRP significantly changed the transcriptome profile of BMDMs, implying that PrRP may be involved in various physiological activities mastered by macrophages.
