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

Macrophages are crucial to host defense, functioning in innate and cell-mediated immunity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that repress transcription and protein production. Little is known about miRNA expression in primary human macrophages, or about how macrophage miRNAs contribute to both normal macrophage function and to the pathogenesis of disease in humans. Using Western blot analyses, we demonstrated the production of miRNA machinery proteins by human primary macrophages. Using two different miRNA array techniques, we identified 119 miRNAs expressed by human primary macrophages, including hsa-let-7a, miR-16, -23a, 30b, -103, -146a, -212, and -378 and validated them by quantitative RT-PCR. Our findings provide a knowledge base to which macrophage miRNA expression in organ-specific macrophages or disease processes may be compared in humans.
