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

backgroundHashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocyte infiltration that destroys thyrocyte cells. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role and mechanisms of tissue small extracellular vesicle (sEV) microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of HT.

methodsDifferentially expressed tissue sEV miRNAs were identified between HT tissue and normal tissue by RNA sequencing in the testing set (n = 20). Subsequently, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR) assays and logistic regression analysis in the validation set (n = 60), the most relevant tissue sEV miRNAs to HT were verified. The parental and recipient cells of that tissue sEV miRNA were then explored. In vitro and in vivo experiments were further performed to elucidate the function and potential mechanisms of sEV miRNAs that contribute to the development of HT.

resultsWe identified that miR-142-3p encapsulated in T lymphocyte-derived tissue sEVs can induce Treg function defect and thyrocyte destruction through an intact response loop. Inactivation of miR-142-3p can effectively protect non-obese diabetic (NOD).H-2

conclusionsOur findings highlight the fact that tissue sEV-mediated miR-142-3p transfer can serve as a communication mode between T lymphocytes and thyrocyte cells in HT, favoring the progression of HT.
