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

backgroundA significant research gap exists regarding the role of tissue exosomes in intrauterine adhesions (IUAs). This study aims to investigate the involvement of miR-195-5p and its regulatory network in IUAs through the analysis of tissue exosomes.

methodsExosomes from rat uterine tissue with intrauterine adhesions were analyzed via transcriptomics to identify downstream target genes of miR-195-5p, cross-referencing with the human endometrial transcriptomics database GSE224093. Dual luciferase labeling confirmed miRNA-target gene interactions. The therapeutic efficacy of a miR-195-5p agonist was assessed in vivo through HE staining, Masson staining, and mating tests. The mechanisms underlying extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and myofibroblast transdifferentiation in endometrial fibrosis were investigated both in vitro and in vivo using RT-PCR, Western Blot, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Migration ability of endometrial stromal cells was evaluated using CCK8, scratch tests, and Transwell assays. Finally, the clinical potential of miR-195-5p was compared with autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

resultsThe expression of miR-195-5p in uterine tissue exosomes from intrauterine adhesions was found to be decreased. Treatment with a miR-195-5p agonist resulted in improved endometrial health, reduced fibrosis, increased glandular density, and enhanced birth rates in rats. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that miR-195-5p decreased ECM deposition, reduced myofibroblast transdifferentiation, and inhibited the migration of endometrial stromal cells. This was achieved through the downregulation of YAP expression in the Hippo pathway and the upregulation of Smad7. Notably, the therapeutic efficacy of miR-195-5p agonists was comparable to that of stem cell therapy, offering promising avenues for clinical application.

conclusionsDifferential expression of miR-195-5p in tissue exosomes can reduce ECM deposition and myofibroblast transdifferentiation, improving endometrial fibrosis by regulating the YAP-Smad7 pathway in the Hippo signaling cascade.
