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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Recently, miRNA levels have been used as a novel non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of various diseases. We aimed to identify serum miRNAs elevated in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) and to explore the potential biological function of identified candidate miRNAs. Serum specimens were collected from children with KD (n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 6). miRNA microarray assays were performed using the PANArray™ miRNA expression profiling kit (PANAGENE Co., Daejeon, Korea). We used TargetScan and the database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery program to obtain a list of enriched biological pathways targeted by miRNAs elevated in KD patients. As a result, miR-200c and miR-371-5p were significantly upregulated in the KD group compared with the control group (p = 0.032 in both). By using TargetScan, we obtained a list of 421 and 542 genes predicted to be targeted by miR-200c and miR-371, respectively, and these genes were significantly (p < 0.05) clustered in 17 and 3 pathways, respectively. Many of them are major pathways involved in inflammatory responses. The present data support the hypothesis that the inflammatory response is a crucial mechanism for pathogenesis of KD, and miRNAs might be the main regulators of this inflammatory response.
