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

The microRNA (miRNA) profiles of placentas complicated with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) are unknown. In the present study, the sIUGR‑associated placental miRNA expression was investigated using microarray and confirmatory reverse transcriptase‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction studies. Placenta samples around the individual insertion region for each umbilical cord were collected from monochorionic twins complicated with (n=17) or without sIUGR (control, n=16). miRNA profile analysis was performed on two sIUGR cases and one control using an Affymetrix microRNA 4.0 Array system. A total of 14 miRNAs were identified to be specifically differentially expressed (7 upregulated and 7 downregulated) among larger twins of sIUGR cases compared with smaller twins of sIUGR cases. The target genes of the identified miRNAs participate in organ size, cell differentiation, cell proliferation and migration. In addition, according to the miRNA‑pathway network analysis, key miRNAs and pathways (transforming growth factor‑β, mitogen‑activated protein kinase and Wnt) were identified to be associated with the pathogenesis of sIUGR. To the best of our knowledge, the results of the current study have provided the most complete miRNA profiles and the most detailed miRNA regulatory networks of placental tissues complicated with sIUGR.
