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

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a pregnancy-related liver disease, leads to complications for both mother and fetus. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as candidate biomarkers for many diseases. So far, the circulating miRNAs profiling of ICP has not been investigated. To assess the urinary miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for ICP, a differential miRNA profiling was initially analyzed by individual quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay in urinary samples from a screening set including 10 ICP and 10 healthy pregnancies. The selected candidate miRNAs were then validated by a validation set with 40 ICP and 50 healthy pregnancies using individual qRT-PCR assay. Compared with the expression in urine of healthy pregnant women, the expression levels of hsa-miR-151-3p and hsa-miR-300 were significantly down-regulated, whereas hsa-miR-671-3p and hsa-miR-369-5p were significantly up-regulated in urine from ICP patients (p < 0.05 and false discovery rate < 0.05). A binary logistic regression model was constructed using the four miRNAs. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.913 (95% confidence interval = 0.847 to 0.980; sensitivity = 82.9%, specificity = 87.0%). Therefore, urinary microRNA profiling detection in ICP is feasible and maternal urinary miRNAs have the potential to be non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of ICP.
