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

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are one of the most common congenital malformations of the digestive tract; however, the pathogenesis of this disease remains to be fully elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important in gastrointestinal development and may be involved in the pathogenesis of ARMs. The present study aimed to profile miRNAs and examine their potential functions in rats with ethylenethiourea (ETU)‑induced ARMs. Pregnant Wistar rats (n=36) were divided randomly into ETU‑treated and control groups. The rats in the ETU‑treated group were gavage‑fed 1% ETU (125 mg/kg) on gestational day 10 (GD10), whereas the control group rats received a corresponding dose of saline. Embryos were harvested by cesarean section on GD14, GD15 and GD16. Hindgut tissue was isolated from the fetuses for RNA extraction and microarray analysis, followed by bioinformatics analysis and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) validation. Overall, 38 miRNAs were differentially expressed (all upregulated) on GD14, 49 (32 upregulated and 17 downregulated) on GD15, and 42 (all upregulated) on GD16 in the ARM group compared with the normal group. The top 18 miRNAs with |log2(fold change)| >4.25 were selected for further bioinformatics analysis. Among these miRNAs, five were differentially expressed at two time-points and were involved in ARM‑associated signaling pathways. The RT‑qPCR analysis revealed that three miRNA (miR), miR‑125b‑2‑3p, miR‑92a‑2‑5p and miR‑99a‑5p, were significantly differentially expressed in rats with ARMs compared with the normal group. In conclusion, the results suggested that the differential expression of miR‑125b‑2‑3p, miR‑92a‑2‑5p and miR‑99a‑5p during key time-points of anorectal formation in rats may have functions in the pathogenesis of ARM.
