Prediction of microRNAs affecting the syncytin-1 (HERV-W) and syncytin-2 (HERV-FRD) genes regulation in endometriosis and miscarriage.
Article in Molecular biology research communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Abnormal expression levels of microRNAs are associated with numerous diseases in the female reproductive tract. A small subset of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) genes have retained open reading frames (ORFs) that serve beneficial functions for the host. Syncytin-1 (HERV-W) and Syncytin-2 (HERV-FRD) play crucial roles in mammalian development and are expressed in placental trophoblasts. The miRNAs associated with HERV-W and HERV-FRD in spontaneous abortion and endometriosis have not been elucidated. The present study aimed to identify potential miRNAs that affect the regulation of Syncytin-1 and Syncytin-2 in endometriosis and miscarriage using bioinformatics tools. Complete CDS of Syncytin-1 (ERVW-1) and Syncytin-2 (ERVFRD-1) genes were collected from the gene bank database. Several target prediction algorithms were utilized, such as TargetScan, DIANA, miRDB, and miRWalk. Complete CDS of Syncytin-1 (ERVW-1) and Syncytin-2 (ERVFRD-1) genes were collected from the gene bank database. By integrating data from these diverse bioinformatics databases, miR-509-3p and miR-625-5p were consistent across multiple platforms, ensuring robust selection criteria. These tools facilitate the identification of differentially expressed miRNAs, understanding their roles in cellular processes, and potentially utilizing them as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Validation of the identified miRNAs in experimental models or clinical samples is needed to confirm their roles in endometriosis and miscarriage.
