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

backgroundPreeclampsia (PE), one of hypertension-related disorders of pregnancy, is a common cause of maternal death worldwide. This study aimed to identify a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA-associated ceRNA network and related pathways in PE. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe downloaded 3 microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, obtained 163 differentially expressed circRNAs (dif-circRNAs) (61 upregulated and 102 downregulated), 39 differentially expressed microRNAs (dif-miRNAs) (22 upregulated and 17 downregulated), and 271 differentially expressed mRNAs (dif-mRNAs) (168 upregulated and 103 downregulated) from placenta tissues of PE. Functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network with module analysis of dif-mRNAs were performed. The regulatory relationship between dif-miRNAs and dif-mRNAs/circRNAs was predicted

resultsA total of 53 pairs were obtained, including 13 circRNAs (10 upregulated and 3 downregulated), 9 miRNAs (3 upregulated and 6 downregulated) and 31 mRNAs (22 upregulated and 9 downregulated). GNB5 and IL2RB were obtained. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that both of them were closely related with the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway. Therefore, ceRNAs might affect the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway

conclusionGNB5 and IL2RB might be key genes involved in the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway in PE, and hsa_circ_0087208, hsa_circ_0035443, hsa_circ_0067557 and hsa_circ_0052661 might regulate these key genes in PE by binding miR-1248 or miR-4303.Key messagesThere is still a lack of predictive and diagnostic factors for preeclampsia, which is a common cause of maternal death worldwide.This study identified a novel circRNA-associated ceRNA network and related pathways in preeclampsia.GNB5 and IL2RB might be key genes in their related circRNA-associated ceRNA network, and probably take an important role in preeclampsia via PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, which made them to be potential markers of preeclampsia.
