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

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and systemic inflammation, often driven by impaired trophoblast function and oxidative stress (OS). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging regulators of placental development, yet the molecular interplay among circRNAs, miRNA maturation, and ferroptosis in PE remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of circTNC in promoting trophoblast ferroptosis and inflammation in PE through modulation of the miR-582-5p/MAPK8 signaling axis. Bioinformatics, in vitro, and in vivo approaches were used to elucidate the functional significance of the circTNC/miR-582-5p/MAPK8 axis in PE. HTR-8/SVneo trophoblasts were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury to model ferroptosis, and a rat PE model was established via reduced uterine perfusion pressure. The effects of circTNC knockdown and ferrostatin-1 treatment were evaluated. Functional and mechanistic assays were conducted to assess interactions among circTNC, MAPK8, miR-582-5p, and DGCR8. CircTNC was upregulated in PE placentas, and its knockdown or ferroptosis inhibition ameliorated PE-like symptoms in rats, reducing OS, inflammation, and improving fetal outcomes. Mechanistically, circTNC suppressed MAPK8 expression by enhancing the DGCR8-mediated maturation of miR-582-5p. MiR-582-5p directly targeted MAPK8 and promoted trophoblast ferroptosis and inflammation. MAPK8 overexpression rescued trophoblast function and reversed the effects of circTNC. Furthermore, circTNC physically interacted with DGCR8 and facilitated the processing of pri-miR-582 into mature miR-582-5p. CircTNC promotes ferroptosis and inflammatory injury in PE by enhancing DGCR8-mediated miR-582-5p maturation and suppressing MAPK8 expression. These findings highlight the circTNC/miR-582-5p/MAPK8 axis as a novel regulatory pathway in PE pathogenesis.
