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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as important in human embryo implantation, and we present here a review of the literature from a clinical perspective. Implantation involves complex interactions between the blastocyst and endometrium. miRNAs have been shown to be differentially expressed in implanted compared with non-implanted blastocysts and euploid compared with aneuploid blastocysts. Further, miRNAs are differentially expressed in proliferative compared with decidualized endometrium, and in receptive compared with pre-receptive endometrium. miRNAs are also differentially expressed in endometrium of women who failed implantation, and in endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure. Due to the complexity of miRNA signaling, studies have suffered from inconsistency in reproducibility of results. However, miRNAs show potential as biomarkers in the pursuit of more reliable prediction of embryo implantation.
