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

backgroundUterine adenomyosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in several benign diseases and malignant tumors. We aimed to explore the co-dysregulated circular RNA profile in the eutopic endometrium and endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) of adenomyosis.

methodsTotal RNA was extracted from the eutopic endometrium and EMI of 5 patients with adenomyosis and 3 patients without adenomyosis. Next-generation sequencing was performed to identify the circRNA expression profile of the two tissue types. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict circRNA-binding miRNAs and miRNA-binding mRNAs and construct ceRNA networks, and functional enrichment analysis was performed to predict the biological functions of circRNAs.

resultsAmong the adenomyosis patients, 760 circRNAs were significantly upregulated and 119 circRNAs were significantly downregulated in the EMI of adenomyosis, while 47 circRNAs were significantly upregulated and 17 circRNAs were significantly downregulated in the eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis. We identified hsa_circ_0002144 and hsa_circ_0005806 as co-upregulated and hsa_circ_0079536 and hsa_circ_0024766 as co-downregulated in the eutopic endometrium and EMI. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to construct a ceRNA network of codifferentially expressed circRNAs. The MAPK signaling pathway is the most important signaling pathway involved in the function of the ceRNA network.

conclusionsCo-dysregulated circRNAs were present in the eutopic endometrium and EMI of adenomyosis. MiRNA binding sites were observed for all of these circRNAs and found to regulate gene expression. Co-dysregulated circRNAs may induce the eutopic endometrial invagination process through the MAPK signaling pathway and promote the progression of adenomyosis.
