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

backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common type of endocrine disorder, affecting 5-11% of women of reproductive age worldwide. microRNAs (miRNAs) stably exist in circulating blood encapsulated in extracellular vesicles such as exosomes; therefore, serum miRNAs have the potential to serve as novel PCOS biomarkers.

methodsTo identify miRNA biomarkers that are associated with PCOS, we performed a comprehensive sequence-based characterization of the PCOS serum miRNA landscape. The serum exosomes were successfully isolated and characterized in a variety of ways. Next, sequence-based analysis was performed on serum exosomes to screen the differentially expressed miRNAs in women with and without PCOS.

resultsThe sequence data revealed that the levels of 54 miRNAs significantly differed between PCOS patients and normal controls. The levels of these miRNAs were detected by RT-qPCR. The results show that hsa-miR-1299, hsa-miR-6818-5p hsa-miR-192-5p, and hsa-miR-145-5p are significantly differentially expressed in PCOS patients serum exosomes and identify these microRNAs as potential biomarkers for PCOS. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) analyses and KEGG pathway analyses of the miRNA targets further allowed to explore the potential implication of the miRNAs in PCOS.

conclusionOur findings suggest that serum exosomal miRNAs serve important roles in PCOS and may be used as novel molecular biomarkers for clinical diagnosis.
