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

backgroundDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as a reduction in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. The pathophysiology of DOR has not been completely explained as of yet. Scholars have uncovered a large number of exosomes that have been detected in follicular fluid, and exosomal miRNAs have been proven to play a critical role in controlling ovarian disorders and follicle formation. We focused on the expression profile of follicular fluid-derived exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) and attempted to understand if their role is connected to the pathomechanism of DOR.

methodsThe follicular fluid-derived differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs (DEmiRs) between patients with DOR and those with normal ovarian function were investigated using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The main metabolic and signaling pathways of DEmiRs were identified using the KEGG pathway database, disease ontology (DO) analysis, and gene ontology (GO) analysis. In the end, a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network was built to search for exosomal miRNAs and their target genes that were potentially strongly connected with DOR.

resultsIn comparison to normal controls, 52 DEmiRs were discovered in follicular fluid-derived exosomes of DOR patients, of which 19 were up-regulated and 33 were down-regulated (|log2(fold change) |>2, P < 0.05). GO, DO analysis, and the KEGG pathway database revealed that many of these DEmiRs have broad biological roles that are connected to ovarian function and disorders. The top ten DEmiRs in terms of expression were then chosen for miRNA-mRNA interaction analysis. Totally, 8 experimentally supported miRNAs (hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-483-3p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-130b-3p, hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-625-3p, hsa-miR-675-3p, and hsa-miR-134-5p) and 126 target genes were filtrated by utilizing Cytoscape software. The module analysis findings of the PPI network showed that the main module cluster with a score > 6.0 (MCODE score = 15) had six hub genes, including IGFR, VEGFA, KRAS, ERBB2, RHOA, and PTEN (MCODE score = 11.472).

conclusionOur data suggested a special expression profile of follicular fluid-derived exosomal miRNAs in patients with DOR, which was probably correlated to ovarian dysfunction and follicle formation. These results may give a unique insight into a better understanding of the molecular process in the pathogenesis of DOR or other ovarian diseases.
