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

Many women enter pregnancy with overweight and obesity, which are associated with complications for both the expectant mother and her child. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate many biological processes, including energy metabolism. Our study aimed to identify first trimester plasmatic miRNAs associated with maternal body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy. We sequenced a total of 658 plasma samples collected between the 4th and 16th week of pregnancy from two independent prospective birth cohorts (Gen3G and 3D). In each cohort, we assessed associations between early pregnancy maternal BMI and plasmatic miRNAs using DESeq2 R package, adjusting for sequencing run and lane, gestational age, maternal age at the first trimester of pregnancy and parity. A total of 38 miRNAs were associated (FDR q < 0.05) with BMI in the Gen3G cohort and were replicated (direction and magnitude of the fold change) in the 3D cohort, including 22 with a nominal p-value < 0.05. Some of these miRNAs were enriched in fatty acid metabolism-related pathways. We identified first trimester plasmatic miRNAs associated with maternal BMI. These miRNAs potentially regulate fatty acid metabolism-related pathways, supporting the hypothesis of their potential contribution to energy metabolism regulation in early pregnancy.
