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

Leiomyomas are benign uterine tumors considered to arise from transformation of myometrial cells. What initiates the conversion of myometrial cells into leiomyoma is unknown, however cytogenetic analysis often shows occurrence of nonrandom chromosomal abnormalities that may account for their establishment. It is clear that ovarian steroids are essential for leiomyoma growth, and local expression of many autocrine/paracrine mediators serving as key regulators of cell-cycle progression, cellular hypertrophy, extracellular matrix accumulation, and apoptosis appear to play central roles in this capacity. However, the stability of the expression of these genes represents the hallmarks of leiomyoma establishment, growth, and regression. With the emergence of microRNA (miRNA) as a key regulator of gene expression stability, in this review we present evidence for the expression and potential regulatory functions on miRNAs in leiomyoma with particular emphasis on the expression of their selective target genes whose products influence various cellular activities critical to pathogenesis of leiomyomas.
