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

Endometrial damage repair disorder is the main reason of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and thin endometrium (TA), which is caused by curettage or infection. Exosomal miRNAs derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) were reported to play an important role in damage repair disorder, including endometrial fibrosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of hucMSCs-derived exosomal microRNA-202-3p (miR-202-3p) in endometrial damage repair. We established rat endometrial injury model according to curettage to mimic women curettage abortion operation. The miRNA array analysis indicated that miR-202-3p was increased and matrix metallopeptidase 11 (MMP11) was decreased in the exosomes-treated rat uterine tissues. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that MMP11 is the target gene of miR-202-3p. We observed that the mRNA and protein of MMP11 were significantly decreased in exosome treatment group on day 3, and the components of extracellular matrix (ECM) COL1A1, COL3A1, COLVI and fibronectin (FN) protein were increased. And we found that when the injured human stromal cells were treated with miR-202-3p overexpression exosomes, the COLVI and FN were also upregulated in protein and mRNA expression level. For the first time MMP11 was proved to be the target gene of miR-202-3p by dual luciferase reporter system. At last, we found the state of stromal cells was better in miR-202-3p overexpression exosomes group compared to exosomes group, and miR-202-3p overexpression exosomes markedly upregulated the FN and collagen on day 3 after endometrial injury. We thought that miR-202-3p overexpression exosomes promoted endometrial repair by regulating ECM remodeling in early repair of damaged endometrium. Taken together, these experimental findings may provide a theoretical basis for understanding endometrial repair and an insight into the clinical treatment for IUA. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells exosomal miR-202-3p could regulate the expression of MMP11 and promote the accumulation of extracellular matrix, such as COL1A1, COL3A1, COLVI, FN, in the early repair period of endometrial injury.
