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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at maternal-fetal interface are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE). microRNAs (miRNAs) also have an important influence on differentiation, maturation, and functions of MSCs. Our aim in this study was to determine the differential expression of miRNAs in decidua-derived MSCs (dMSCs) from severe PE and normal pregnancies.

resultsmiRNA expression profiles in dMSCs from five patients with severe PE and five healthy pregnant women were screened using microarray. Then, bioinformatic analysis of the microarray results was performed. Out of 179 differentially expressed miRNAs, 49 miRNAs had significant (p < 0.05) differential expression of ≥ 2.0-fold changes, including 21 up-regulated and 28 down-regulated. miRNA-Gene-network and miRNA-Gene ontology (GO) -network analyses were performed. Overall, 21 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated miRNAs showed high degrees in these analyses. Moreover, the significantly enriched signaling pathways and GOs were identified. The analyses revealed that pathways associated with cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune functions were highly regulated by the differentially expressed miRNAs, including Wnt signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway, T-cell receptor signaling pathway, and B cell receptor signaling pathway. Four miRNA predicted target genes, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, suppression of cytokine signaling 3, and serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A 55 kDa regulatory subunit B α isoform (PPP2R2A) were all decreased in dMSCs from patients with PE. Furthermore, the physiological roles of miR-16 and miR-136 in the down-regulation of VEGFA and PPP2R2A, respectively, were confirmed through reporter assays.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that miRNAs in dMSCs may be important regulatory molecules in the development of PE.
