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

backgroundThe specific causes of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) remain unknown in 37-79% of affected women. The aim of this study was to explore the expression levels of 6 miRNAs in natural killer (NK) cells from the decidua of patients with unexplained RSA (URSA) and to predict the target genes of 3 miRNAs. MATERIAL/

methodsTwo groups were examined: URSA (n=20) and controls (n=20). Flow cytometry analysis was used to identify NK cells isolated from the decidua. Transcriptional levels of miRNA were monitored using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Prediction and analysis of mRNA targets of differentially expressed miRNAs were performed using bioinformatics methods.

resultsFive miRNAs [miR-34a (+281%, P<0.001), miR-155 (+396%, P<0.001), miR-141 (+142%, P<0.01), miR-125a (+279%, P<0.001), and miR-125b (+185%, P<0.001)] were up-regulated, while miR-24 was down-regulated (-64%, P<0.01) in the URSA group, compared to the control group. This study identified potential miRNA targets: miR-34a-3p/5p, 585/1718 (targets of miR-34a-3p/targets of miR-34a-5p), miR-141-3p/5p, 2270/629 (targets of miR-141-3p/targets of miR-141-5p), and miR-24, 2320 target genes. A total of 140 pathways related to target genes were identified including PI3K-Akt, focal adhesion, MAPK, Wnt, regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, T cell receptor, TGF-β, and estrogen signaling pathways.

conclusionsThis study suggests that miR-34a-3p/5p, miR-141-3p/5p, and miR-24 in decidual NK cells could be associated with URSA. These findings might contribute to the panel of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers with clinical utility, and facilitate the development of new strategies for targeted therapy against URSA.
