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

Background: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful implantation. However, the trajectory differences in plasma miRNA expression between women with implantation failure and success, as well as the potential role of those miRNAs, remain unclear. Methods: This study included 84 women who underwent single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer in a natural cycle. For each patient, longitudinal plasma samples across five time points throughout the peri-implantation period (day0/D3/D5/D7/D9) were collected and underwent miRNA sequencing. The failure group ( Results: Twenty-four DDE miRNAs (FDR < 0.05) exhibited five temporal patterns: recession (R), growth (G), D3-trough (T), multimodal (M), and D5-trough (T2). The success group predominantly showed M-pattern miRNAs (62.5%), while failures demonstrated pattern transitions (M → T/T2) and exclusive T-pattern expression. Clinical relevance revealed eight DDE miRNAs associated with at least one clinical variable, with the majority being associated with estradiol/progesterone levels. Functional enrichment implicated Wnt/mTOR pathways in embryo implantation and decidualization. Six DDE miRNAs were successfully replicated in the validation set, while the support vector machine (SVM) model achieved area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.816 (D0) and 0.870 (D3). Additionally, the association between hsa-miR-214-3p and its target gene CTNNB1 was further confirmed in Ishikawa cells. Conclusions: Understanding the dynamic landscape changes of the miRNA transcriptome in individuals with implantation failure will help identify dynamic biomarkers from ovulation to the post-implantation stage, providing new insights into the pathological mechanisms of implantation failure and facilitating the research and development of new therapies in the clinical setting.
