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

Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is commonly observed, and seriously affects women's reproductive health. Excessive interleukin-6 (IL-6) production has been shown to frequently occur and relate to URSA pathogenesis. In this study, the miRNA expression profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from URSA patients and normal pregnant (NP) women was assessed by miRNA microarray and real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). MiRNA target prediction tools and luciferase reporter assay were used to detect direct binding between miRNAs and IL6. Functional study of administering anti-IL-6 neutralizing antibody and miR-374c-5p mimics to an URSA animal model was performed to evaluate embryo resorption rates. In the results, compared with NP women, the expression of IL-6 increased markedly in PBMCs and decidual tissues at both mRNA and protein levels, while miR-374c-5p expression decreased significantly. Prediction software and luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-374c-5p binds with IL6 3'UTR via the complementary bases. Transfection of miR-374c-5p mimics into an in vitro HeLa cell line significantly downregulated the expression of IL-6, while transfection of the miR-374c-5p inhibitor induced an opposite result. In the URSA mouse model, miR-374c-5p overexpression reduced the embryo resorption rate significantly, accompanied with decreased expression of IL-6 in the decidua. To sum up, downregulated miR-374c-5p was involved in the pathogenesis of URSA by enhancing IL-6 expression. Modulation of miR-374c-5p expression may be used to regulate IL-6 production for the treatment of URSA.
