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 aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-93, miR-320 and miR-16 and to assess their diagnostic value in diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). A total of 120 individuals were divided into three groups, which included the diabetics with ED group (ED group), the diabetics without ED group (NED group) and the healthy volunteers group (control group). Each group included 40 individuals. Serum samples were collected and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction detection of the three types of miRNA was performed and the sensitivity of ED was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curves. A negative correlation was identified between the incidence of ED in patients with diabetes and serum total testosterone levels (r=0.302, P<0.05); however, a positive correlation was observed between the incidence of ED in diabetics and the HbA1c level (r=0.231, P<0.05). Additionally, the relative expression levels of the three types of miRNA were higher in the ED group when compared with the NED and control groups (P<0.05). When compared with the control group, the area under the curve (AUC) values for miR-93, miR-320 and miR-16 were 0.793, 0.818 and 0.810, respectively, in the ED group and 0.576, 0.532 and 0.542 in the NED group, respectively. Furthermore, when compared with the NED group, the AUC value for miR-93, miR-320 and miR-16 was 0.707, 0.810 and 0.833, respectively, in the ED group. Therefore, the expression levels of miR-93, miR-320 and miR-16 may be useful for the early diagnosis of ED in patients with diabetes.
