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

Dysregulation of microRNAs in endometrial cells plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). This study aims to investigate the implication of aberrant miR-202-3p expression in EM and the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that miR-202-3p was significantly downregulated in eutopic endometrium of EM in comparison to normal endometrial samples (P < 0.05). Primary endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) isolated from eutopic or ectopic endometrium also showed a significant decrease in miR-202-3p level compared to ESCs from normal endometrium (P < 0.01). Functional studies using MTT, wound healing assay and transwell assay indicated that overexpression of miR-202-3p greatly impaired cell viability, migration, and invasion, whereas suppression of miR-202-3p exhibited the opposite effects (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). miR-202-3p mimics or inhibitors transfection significantly decreased or increased expression of Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1), respectively, in ESCs (P < 0.01). Using dual luciferase reporter assay, we validated ROCK1 as a direct target of miR-202-3p. Moreover, negative correlations between miR-202-3p and ROCK1 mRNA/protein levels were determined in both eutopic and normal control endometrium (P < 0.01). In conclusion, these findings suggest that suppression of miR-202-3p in ESCs results in enhanced cell viability, invasion, and migration at least partially via upregulation of its target ROCK1, which eventually contributes to the development of endometriosis.
