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

There is an ongoing explosion of information about microRNAs (miRs) in cardiac disease. These small noncoding RNAs regulate protein expression by destabilization and translational inhibition of target mRNAs. Similar to mRNAs, miRs are regulated in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, but miR expression profiles appear to be more sensitive than mRNA signatures to changes in clinical status, suggesting that miR levels in myocardium or plasma could enhance clinical diagnostics. Single miRs can target dozens or hundreds of different mRNAs, complicating attempts to determine their individual physiologic effects. However, manipulating individual miRs by overexpression or gene ablation in experimental models has begun to unravel this conundrum: Single miRs tend to regulate numerous effectors within the same functional pathway, producing a coherent physiologic response via multiple parallel perturbations. miRs are attractive nodal therapeutic targets, and stable miR mimetics (agomiRs) and antagonists (antagomiRs) are being evaluated to prevent or reverse heart failure.
