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

Aim: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. A previous study reported that microRNA (miR)-542-3p plays a critical role in eutopic endometrial decidualization. This study aims to clarify the potential role of miR-542-3p and the target gene, Methods: In vitro analysis of primary undifferentiated and decidualizing human eutopic endometrial stromal cells (HEuESCs) and HEcESCs was conducted. The primary HEuESCs or HEcESCs were expanded in culture and decidualized with 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (8-bromo-cAMP) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Results: The morphological and biological differentiating capacities of the HEcESCs were markedly impaired. In contrast to the HEuESCs, the HEcESCs that were treated with the decidual stimulus retained the mesenchymal phenotype and capacity for migration. The down-regulation of miR-542-3p in the HEcESCs treatment with 8-bromo-cAMP and MPA was much weaker than that of the HEuESCs. High expression of miR-542-3p led to a significant decrease in the expression of IGFBP1 in the HEcESCs. Conclusion: Impairment of the differentiating capacity by the overexpression of miR-542-3p could influence the capacity for migration and invasion of endometriotic cells in an ectopic environment.
