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

backgroundHuman decidual mesenchymal stem cells (hDMSCs) play crucial roles in pregnancy. The decreased resistance of hDMSCs to oxidative stress is a key factor contributing to recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). miRNAs have essential functions in the proliferation and apoptosis of decidual tissues. However, the miRNAs involved in regulating oxidative stress in hDMSCs remain unclear.

methodsDecidual tissues and hDMSCs were collected from patients with RSA and early pregnancy miscarriages. We assessed the antioxidant capacity of hDMSCs in both groups by detecting relevant indicators. Furthermore, differentially expressed miRNAs in hDMSCs were analyzed through miRNA sequencing. We evaluated the interaction between hsa-miR-532-3p and KEAP1 using a luciferase reporter assay. A mouse model of RSA was constructed for confirmation. Finally, we analyzed the correlations between serum hsa-miR-532-3p levels and the clinical features of pregnant women with RSA.

resultsmiRNA sequencing revealed 44 miRNAs whose expression was downregulated and 9 miRNAs whose expression was upregulated in hDMSCs from the RSA group compared with those from the control group. The overexpression of hsa-miR-532-3p led to a significantly increased antioxidant capacity in hDMSCs. The knockdown or overexpression of hsa-miR-532-3p led to the upregulation or downregulation of KEAP1 expression, respectively. In a mouse model, the overexpression of hsa-miR-532-3p reduced embryo absorption rates in RSA mice, decreased KEAP1 expression levels in decidual tissues, and concurrently enhanced the resistance to oxidative stress. Furthermore, in patients diagnosed with RSA, serum hsa-miR-532-3p levels were significantly and negatively correlated with the gestational age.

conclusionsOur study revealed a lower expression level of hsa-miR-532-3p in the hDMSCs of patients with RSA. Moreover, hsa-miR-532-3p protects hDMSCs from oxidative stress by targeting the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (KEAP1/NRF2) pathway. Hsa-miR-532-3p is closely related to gestational age and has good predictive value for identifying RSA.
