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

The fecundity of female mammals is resolved by the limited size of the primordial follicle (PF) pool formed perinatally. The establishment of PF pool is accompanied by a significant programmed oocyte death. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are central modulators in regulating cell apoptosis or autophagy in multiple diseases, however, the significance of lncRNAs governing perinatal oocyte loss remains unknown. Here we find that Yin-Yang 1 (YY1) directly binds to the lncRNA X-inactive-specific transcript (Xist) promoter and facilitates Xist expression in the perinatal mouse ovaries. Xist is highly expressed in fetal ovaries and sharply downregulated along with the establishment of PF pool after birth. Gain or loss of function analysis reveals that Xist accelerates oocyte autophagy, mainly through binding to pre-miR-23b or pre-miR-29a in the nucleus and preventing the export of pre-miR-23b/pre-miR-29a to the cytoplasm, thus resulting in decreased mature of miR-23b-3p/miR-29a-3p expression and upregulation miR-23b-3p/miR-29a-3p co-target, STX17, which is essential for timely control of the degree of oocyte death in prenatal mouse ovaries. Overall, these findings identify Xist as a key non-protein factor that can control the biogenesis of miR-23b-3p/miR-29a-3p, and this YY1-Xist-miR-23b-3p/miR-29a-3p-STX17 regulatory axis is responsible for perinatal oocyte loss through autophagy.
