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

Multiple microRNAs (miRs) are implicated in muscle cell differentiation and muscle mass regulation. Pharmacological agents targeting miR-486 and other miRs, involved in muscle mass regulation, could potentially be developed into therapeutic agents for muscle wasting. Muscle wasting is prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Xu et al. showed that miR-486 mimetic ameliorated muscle wasting in mice with CKD. miR mimetics may represent a new therapeutic frontier for muscle wasting in CKD.
