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

purposeMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs which regulate the activities of target mRNAs. We compared the expression profiles of the miRNAs in the vitreous of eyes with macular hole (MH) to that in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

methodsVitreous and whole blood samples were collected from four patients with MH and from four patients with PDR. We assayed for 168 miRNAs in the vitreous and serum samples by the microRNA PCR Panel method.

resultsThe mean number of miRNAs expressed in the vitreous was 63 (55-69) in eyes with MH and 86 (65-117) in eyes with PDR. The mean number of miRNAs expressed in the serum was 162 (159-167) in the MH patients and 142 (115-160) in the PDR patients. Twenty-six miRNAs were expressed in the vitreous of both MH and PDR eyes. Although there was no significant difference in the levels of 20 of the 26 (73 %) miRNAs expressed in both MH and PDR eyes, six of 26 miRNAs (24 %) (hsa-miR-15a, hsa-miR320a, hsa-miR-320b, hsa-miR-93, hsa-miR-29a, and hsa-miR-423-5p) were expressed significantly more highly in PDR eyes. In addition, the mean fold changes of three miRNAs, hsa-miR-23a, hsa-miR-320a, and hsa-miR-320b, in the vitreous to serum were significantly higher in the PDR group than in the MH group.

conclusionsThe expression of several miRNAs related to angiogenesis and fibrosis was expressed significantly higher in the vitreous of eyes with PDR. Further studies are needed to understand the role played by the miRNAs in the biological function of the eye.
