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 present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-30c in endometriosis (EMs) and the underlying mechanism. The expression of miR-30c and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) mRNA in EMs tissues was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and the expression of PAI-1 protein was detected by western blot analysis. The proliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in different groups transfected with miR-30c mimic or inhibitor were compared. It was demonstrated that miR-30c expression in ectopic and eutopic endometriosis tissues were significantly lower than in normal endometrial tissue. However, PAI-1 mRNA expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissues was higher than in normal endometrial tissues. Furthermore, the expression of PAI-1 protein was higher in ectopic and eutopic endometrosis tissues than in normal tissues. RT-qPCR results indicated that miR-30c expression was significantly increased or decreased in ESCs following transfection of mimic or inhibitor of miR-30c, respectively. Overexpression of miR-30c repressed the expression of PAI-1 mRNA and protein, while inhibition of miR-30c upregulated the expression of PAI-1 in ESCs. In addition, the invasion, migration, proliferation and adhesion of ESCs was repressed following the overexpression of miR-30c, whereas they were promoted when miR-30c expression was downregulated. The results of the present study indicated that miR-30c serves an important role in the development and progression of EMs by regulating the expression of PAI-1.
