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

backgroundCirculating microRNAs may represent novel markers for cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated whether circulating miRNAs served as potential biomarkers for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

methodsCardiac magnetic resonance imaging with postcontrast T1 mapping was performed to non-invasively quantify diffuse myocardial fibrosis in HCM patients who were classified into two groups (T1 < 470 ms or T1 ≥ 470 ms, as likely or unlikely to have diffuse fibrosis, respectively). First, we screened 84 miRNAs using human serum/plasma miRNA array on plasma of 8 HCM patients (4/group based on T1 time) and 4 healthy controls. From the results of this initial array, 16 miRNAs were selected based on their fold changes and relevance to myocardial fibrosis for further validation by Taqman real-time PCR in 55 HCM patients.

resultsAmong the 16 miRNAs, the expression of miR-96-5p and miR-373-3p was low. The remaining 14 (miR-18a-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-30d-5p, miR-17-5p, miR-200a-3p, miR-19b-3p, miR-21-5p, miR-193-5p, miR-10b-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-192-5p, miR-296-5p, miR-29a-3p, and miR-133a-3p) were upregulated in HCM patients with T1 < 470 ms compared with those with T1 ≥ 470 ms, and 11 (except miR-192-5p, miR-296-5p and miR-133a-3p) were significantly inversely correlated with postcontrast T1 values. Individual miRNA had moderate diagnostic value for diffuse myocardial fibrosis (AUC: 0.663-0.742), but the diagnostic value was greatly improved (AUC: 0.87) for a combination of 8 miRNAs. In comparison, circulating markers of collagen turnover did not have predictive values for diffuse myocardial fibrosis.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that circulating miRNAs provide attractive candidates as putative biomarkers for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in HCM.
