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

objectiveTo investigate the expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126) and vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in the placental tissues of women with early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) and their effects on trophoblast invasion. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe placental tissues of 30 pregnant women with EOPE who delivered in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2019 to May 2020 were selected as the preeclampsia (PE) group, and the placental tissues of 30 healthy pregnant women with normal prenatal examination were selected as the normal group. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize VCAM-1 in placental tissues,the expression of miR-126 and VCAM-1 in placenta tissues of two groups and HTR-8/SVneo cells transfected with miR-126 were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, and the correlation between them was analyzed. The invasion ability of cells transfected with miR-126 was observed by Transwell invasion test.

resultsCompared with the normal group, the expression of miR-126 was higher and VCAM-1 was lower in the placental tissues of the PE group, and the difference were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Moreover, VCAM-1 was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-126 (r = -0.391, p < 0.05). In vitro experiment, the expression level of VCAM-1 in miR-126 mimics transfection group was decreased, and the expression level of VCAM-1 in miR-126 inhibitor transfection group was increased; the invasion ability of HTR-8/SVneo cells transfected with miR-126 mimics was decreased, and the invasion ability of HTR-8/SVneo cells transfected with miR-126 inhibitor was enhanced.

conclusionThere was a negative correlation between the expression of miR-126 and VCAM-1 in EOPE.MiR-126 and VCAM-1 may participate in the occurrence and development of EOPE by affecting the invasion ability of trophoblast cells.
