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

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a common but complex condition that can occur in pregnancy. It is estimated to affect 3-8% of pregnancies worldwide. PE development is thought to be multifactorial and to involve the dysregulation of microRNA (miR) expression. However, the precise mechanisms of PE development remain unclear. The present study aimed to illustrate the association between miR‑203 expression and PE development in samples of human placenta collected from mothers with (n=18) and without (n=20) PE. It was demonstrated that miR‑203 expression was significantly increased in the PE placenta compared with the normal placenta samples, while the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) was decreased. In vitro experiments revealed that miR‑203 overexpression significantly downregulated VEGFA expression and inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of HTR‑8/SVneo cells. Suppression of miR‑203 expression alleviated these effects. A luciferase reporter assay confirmed the interaction of the 3'‑untranslated region of VEGFA with miR‑203. Thus, miR‑203 may have significant contribution to the development of PE by targeting VEGFA in the human placenta and may have potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target in the treatment of PE.
