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

The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of unknown etiology. Recently, a group of dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in blood microvesicles and in colon tissue have been identified in IBS patients. miRNAs have been shown to modulate specific biological processes such as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. The ideal strategy would be to use specific miRNAs as both diagnostic and therapeutic tools to recover intestinal function and treat intractable gastrointestinal symptoms. In conclusion, further study of the functional role of miRNAs will lead to a better understanding of the dysregulation of intestinal pathways in IBS patients. The results may lead to preventive and/or therapeutic strategies that use small molecules (such as mimics or inhibitors of specific miRNAs) to affect genetic and epigenetic control. Future clinical trials may use microvesicle-associated miRNA-based therapies by using specific inhibitors/mimics of miRNA to target gene expression and treat IBS.
