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 purpose of our study was to screen preliminary differential expression bone-related microRNAs (miRNAs) in serum of patients with osteogenesis imperfacta and to clarify whether serum microRNA is a promising biomarker for osteogenesis imperfecta. geNorm and several other programes were performed to select suitable reference genes for quantitative detection of serum miRNAs from 6 candidate control genes. With geometric averaging of selected reference genes as a normalization factor, fluorescence-based quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect expression levels of more than 100 bone-related miRNAs obtained by means of miRanda, Targetscan and Pictar software calculations and reading the literature. Through analysis of expression stability and pairwise variations, all 6 candidate reference genes had a stable expression level in serum of 8 healthy controls and 8 patients with different characrteristics, and the optimal number of reference genes for normalization was 4 (snRNAU6, miR-92a, miR-16, and Let-7a). For further validation, the expression stability of 4 reference genes remained steady in serum of another 8 healthy controls and 16 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (M < 1.5). When normalized using multiple control genes, 11 bone-related miRNAs showed differential expression in serum of 8 osteogenesis imperfecta patients compared with 8 healthy controls. In conclusion, we identified snRNAU6, miR-92a, miR-16, and Let-7a as an internal reference gene group for qRT-PCR normalization and screening results revealed that there existed many differential expression bone-related miRNAs in serum of patients with osteogenesis imperfecta compared with healthy controls, and that these miRNAs had potential to be biomarkers for serologic tests and diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta with analysis of bioinformation.
