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.
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
backgroundRecent findings have demonstrated that inadequate trophoblast migration and invasion are often responsible for the unsuccessful communication between the mother and fetus, contributing to URSA (unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion). Effective intercellular communication at the maternal-fetal interface is crucial for maintaining trophoblast invasion and migration. Decidual stromal cells (DSCs), which are predominant at the maternal-fetal interface, have been identified as key regulators of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of trophoblasts, which facilitates their migration and invasion. However, the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unexplored and constitute the central focus of this study.
resultsThe inhibition of trophoblast EMT by URSA-DSC-derived exosomes (URSA-DSC-exos) resulted in decreased migration and invasion abilities in vitro. MicroRNA sequencing revealed that miR-92b-3p were the most significantly upregulated microRNA in trophoblasts treated with URSA-DSC-exos. Further functional experiments demonstrated that URSA-DSC-exos inhibited trophoblast migration and invasion by transferring miR-92b-3p. Mechanistically, miR-92b-3p in URSA-DSC-exos suppressed trophoblast migration and invasion by directly downregulating USP28 expression at the post-transcriptional level. Overexpression of USP28 rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-92b-3p mimics on the expression of USP28 and restored the invasion and migration capabilities of HTR-8/SVneo cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiment suggested that URSA-DSC-exos led to increased embryo absorption in mice. Clinically, alterations in USP28 and EMT-related molecule expressions were observed in URSA patients, and a negative correlation was noted between miR-92b-3p and USP28 levels.
conclusionOur findings has demonstrated that the induction of insufficient migration and invasion of trophoblast by URSA-DSC-exos is due to abnormal ubiquitination degradation, which is mediated by the low expression of USP28, which is suppressed by miR-92b-3p at the post-transcriptional level. Reversing this disorder sheds light on a novel mechanism in DSC regulation of trophoblasts, highlighting their significant role in URSA.
