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

We performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) on RNA from 19 paired leiomyoma (Lyo) and myometrium (Myo) specimens, stratified by race/ethnicity (White: n = 7; Black: n = 12) and mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) mutation status (mutated: n = 10; non-mutated: n = 9). Analysis identified 2,189 small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) with altered expression in Lyo compared to paired Myo (≥1.5-fold change), including small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Among these, 17 sncRNAs showed differential expression in the MED12-mutated group versus Myo, while minimal changes were observed in the non-mutated group. Additionally, 31 sncRNAs displayed differential expression in Black women compared to White women. For validation, five novel miRNAs (miR-19a-3p, miR-99a-5p, miR-3196, miR-499a-5p, and miR-30d-3p) and five piRNAs (piR-009295, piR-020326, piR-020365, piR-006426, and piR-020485) were analyzed in 51 paired Lyo samples using qRT-PCR. Reduced expression of the selected sncRNAs was confirmed in Lyo versus Myo, with miR-19a-3p, miR-3196, miR-30d-3p, piR-006426, and piR-020485 linked to MED12 status, while miR-499a-5p and miR-30d-3p were associated with race/ethnicity. These findings suggest that sncRNA dysregulation contributes to altered gene expression in Lyo, influenced by MED12 mutation and racial background.
