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 short, noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression. In the past decade, studies on miRNAs in ovaries have revealed the key roles of miRNAs in ovarian development and function. In this review, we first introduce the development of follicular atresia research and then summarize genome-wide studies on the ovarian miRNA profiles of different mammalian species. Differentially expressed miRNA profiles during atresia and other biological processes are herein compared. In addition, current knowledge on confirmed functional miRNAs during the follicular atresia process, which is mostly indicated by granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis, is presented. The main miRNA families and clusters, including the let-7 family, miR-23-27-24 cluster, miR-183-96-182 cluster and miR-17-92 cluster, and related pathways that are involved in follicular atresia are thoroughly summarized. A deep understanding of the roles of miRNA networks will not only help elucidate the mechanisms of GC apoptosis, follicular development, atresia and their disorders but also offer new diagnostic and treatment strategies for infertility and other ovarian dysfunctions.
