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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the correlation between microRNA-155 (miR-155), interleukin 17A (IL-17), and late preeclampsia (PE) using biochemical parameters in maternal serum and urine.

methodsSixty patients with PE were recruited to this study and were divided into 3 groups according to levels of urinary protein: mild urinary protein group (group A); moderate urinary protein group (group B); and severe urinary protein group (group C). All subjects presented with late onset PE (≥32 weeks). In addition, 20 healthy pregnant women were recruited as a normal group (NP). Maternal serum and urine samples were obtained from all participants and assayed using immunofluorescence, transmission electron and immune electron microscopy, and western blot. Furthermore, placentas were also collected and miR-155 and IL-17 expression was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsLevels of miR-155 and IL-17 expression were found to be increased in PE placentas and serum, compared to the normal group (P <.05). IL-17 levels and podocytes had a positive association in the serum of patients with PE. In addition, over-expression of miR-155 resulted in increased IL-17 production by CD4+ T cells in vitro, and nephrin expression was decreased in podocytes. Furthermore, IL-17 reduced nephrin expression in podocytes and podocyte apoptosis in a dose and time-dependent manner.

conclusionThe results of this study demonstrate a correlation between miR-155 and IL-17 in the formation of proteinuria during late onset PE.
