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

introductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs), packaged within extracellular vesicles (EVs), have been used to interrogate the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and to identify its biomarkers. We have previously shown that miRNA species were differentially expressed in small plasma EVs from women with preeclampsia vs healthy controls. We sought to assess the use of rapid technologies for isolation of plasma and urine EVs from parturients with preeclampsia and determine differences in the expression of selected EV miRNA species.

methodsWe collected blood and urine samples before delivery from parturients with severe preeclampsia vs healthy controls and used size exclusion chromatography (SEC) as an acceptable standard for rapid isolation of plasma EVs. We also isolated urine and plasma EVs using ExoDisc, a rapid nanofiltration technology for EV isolation. All samples were examined using a nanoparticle tracking analyzer, immunoblotting, and RT-qPCR for selected miRNA levels.

resultsWhereas the concentration of EVs was higher in the urine from preeclampsia compared to controls, we observed the opposite change in plasma EVs, with no difference in EV size. Comparing the two patient groups for miRNA levels in EVs isolated by ExoDisc or SEC, we found that EV miR-93-5p was upregulated in the plasma and urine of parturients with preeclampsia vs healthy controls. Notably, miR-31-5p was upregulated in SEC- or ExoDisc-isolated plasma EVs, and miR-92-3p was upregulated in or ExoDisc-isolated plasma or urine EVs of parturients with preeclampsia. DISCUSSION: Technologies for rapid analysis of plasma and urine EVs and their miRNA cargo provide complementary information that might be useful for deciphering pathways leading to preeclampsia and biomarkers for this disease.
