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

objectiveThis current survey investigated the role of the Forkhead 3 box protein (foxp3) gene and serum vitamin D levels in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA).

methodsThe mRNA level of the foxp3 gene in peripheral blood was evaluated in women with a history of RSA (N=40) and in controls (N=40) via quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We employed the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess the serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2 D) in both groups. The Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to statistically compare study groups between and within themselves, respectively.

resultsAlthough mRNA levels of foxp3 were higher in women with RSA than in controls, we observed no significant change in mRNA levels of foxp3 between the two groups (p=0.16). An important positive correlation was observed between foxp3 mRNA levels and 1,25(OH)2 D in controls (p=0.003). In contrast, the correlation between foxp3 expression and 1,25(OH)2 D was not significant in the case group (p=0.14). Serum vitamin D levels were lower in women with RSA than in controls (p<0.001).

conclusionsOur findings demonstrated that 1,25Vitamin D3 along with other molecules might help prevent RSA by providing for an anti-inflammatory state not necessarily through foxp3 expression or T cell differentiation.
