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

backgroundBlood-stasis syndrome (BSS) is one of the Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiations that are commonly seen in stroke and ischemic heart diseases; however, the BSS differentiation criterion is not standardized. More objective biomarkers for BSS diagnosis are needed.

methodsAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) or unstable angina (UA) patients with BSS and healthy controls were enrolled. The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of UA patients and AIS patients were compared to those of healthy controls to identify the differentially expressed miRNA and mRNA of BSS. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify significantly deregulated miRNAs and mRNAs correlated to BSS. QRT-PCR was performed to validate the bioinformatics analysis results.

resultsApproximately 401 mRNAs and 11 miRNAs were differentially expressed in both UA and AIS patients compared to healthy controls. Gene ontology (GO) functional analysis was performed, and multiple GO terms were enriched. Among the overlapping DE miRNAs and mRNAs, miR-146b-5p, -199a-5p and 23 targeted mRNAs were pivotal genes in the BSS genomic characteristics. These 2 miRNAs and 23 mRNAs formed network-type biomarkers for BSS.

conclusionsThe genomic characteristics of BSS were shown in this study. miR-146b-5p, -199a-5p and the 23 targeted mRNAs formed a diagnostic network for BSS. Further improvement and validation of this diagnostic network might lead to more objective diagnostic criteria for BSS.
