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

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a pregnancy-related condition characterized by a complex etiology. While placental trophoblast dysfunction is strongly associated with the development and progression of RSA, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we observed a significant decrease in the expression of MYB Proto-Oncogene Like 2 (MYBL2) in the villous tissue of patients with RSA and the placentas of abortion-prone (AP) mice. Utilizing human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs), we identified MYBL2 as a critical regulator of hTSCs stemness maintenance, promoting the expression of the stemness-associated genes Tumor protein p63 (TP63) and TEA Domain Transcription Factor 4 (TEAD4). Furthermore, MYBL2 facilitates the differentiation of hTSCs into extravillous trophoblast (EVT) by positively regulating Ajuba LIM Protein (AJUBA) expression. Using HTR-8/SVneo cell line, an immortalized EVT-like model, we found that MYBL2 positively regulates AJUBA expression by binding to the distal region of the AJUBA promoter. Additionally, the MYBL2-AJUBA axis enhances the migration and invasion of HTR-8/SVneo cells by suppressing the Hippo signaling pathway. Our study indicates that the dysregulation of MYBL2 expression in placental trophoblasts is associated with the pathogenesis of RSA, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for this condition.
