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

objectiveCytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital infection and can cause neurodevelopmental disabilities, although a majority of patients are asymptomatic. Biomarkers associated with disease severity would be desirable to distinguish asymptomatic from mildly symptomatic patients who may benefit from antiviral treatment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that may have the potential to serve as biomarkers. STUDY

designThirteen infants with congenital CMV infection were enrolled, and plasma levels of 11 human- and 3 CMV-encoded miRNAs were quantitated by real-time PCR. Plasma levels of miRNAs and their associations with clinical features were evaluated.

resultsThe levels of miR-183-5p and miR-210-3p were significantly higher in patients with congenital CMV infection than in control infants, whereas no significant associations between levels of miRNAs and clinical features of congenital CMV infection were observed.

conclusionPlasma miRNAs could be associated with the pathogenesis of congenital CMV infection and could be used as disease biomarkers.
