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 biological roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been extensively studied. miRNA122 represents more than half of the miRNAs expressed in the liver and has various physiological and pathological functions, which include enhancing hepatitis virus replication, regulating lipid metabolism and suppressing hepatocellular carcinoma. miRNAs, whether globally or individually, have been linked with hepatocarcinogenesis. Furthermore, some miRNAs have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Using nucleotide-based strategies, these miRNAs may be developed as potential therapeutic targets. Because changes in miRNA expression can be measured in sera, they may be used as non-invasive biomarkers if they correctly reflect the pathological state of the liver. In this review, we show the biological roles of representative miRNAs in liver disease and discuss the current issues that remain to be clarified for future clinical applications.
