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

objectivesIntrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP) causes itching, preterm birth, and stillbirth. However, there is no accurate diagnostic method for IHCP. Currently, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have become candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis of multiple diseases. Here, we investigated the diagnostic value of miRNAs in IHCP and aimed to predict the molecular mechanism of IHCP pathogenesis.

methodsWe analyzed differentially expressed miRNAs in both women with IHCP and normal pregnant women. The selected candidate miRNAs were validated in 46 IHCP cases and 46 normal pregnant subjects, and we constructed receiver operator characteristic curves of miRNAs. Pearson correlations between levels of total bile acid (TBA) and differentially expressed miRNAs were also calculated. In addition, we clustered functionally significant biological pathways using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses.

resultsThe expression levels of 13 miRNAs were remarkably upregulated while the other 35 miRNAs were significantly downregulated, in women with IHCP (

conclusionThe panel of three-miRNAs (miRNA-7706, miRNA-877-3p, and miRNA-128-3p) may be a useful noninvasive diagnostic biomarker of IHCP.
