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

Calcium oxalate stones account for >80% of urinary stones, however the mechanisms underlying their formation remains to be elucidated. Hyperoxaluria serves an important role in the pathophysiological process of stone formation. In the present study, differences in the miRNA expression profiles between experimental hyperoxaluric rats and normal rats were analyzed, in order to identify target genes and signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of hyperoxaluria. Ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride was fed to male hyperoxaluric rats (EXP) and normal age‑matched male rats (CON). The oxalate concentration in the urine of each experimental rat was collected every 24 h and measured on day 14. Three rats exhibiting the highest concentrations were selected for microarray analysis. Microarray analysis was performed to evaluate differences in the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in the kidney tissues from EXP and CON groups, and miRNAs that exhibited a >2‑fold or a <0.5‑fold alteration in expression between these groups were screened for differential expression patterns according to the threshold P‑values. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was employed to confirm the microarray results. In order to predict the potential role of miRNAs in pathophysiological processes, gene ontology (GO), pathway and target prediction analyses were conducted. A total of 28 miRNAs were observed to be differentially expressed (>2‑fold change) between EXP and CON groups. Among these miRNAs, 20 were upregulated and 8 were downregulated. GO and pathway analyses revealed that the insulin resistance and phosphatidylinositol‑bisphosphonate 3‑kinase/AKT serine threonine kinase signaling pathways were potentially associated with miRNA regulation in this setting. In conclusion, the results of the present study identified differentially expressed miRNAs in hyperoxaluric rats, and provided a novel perspective for the role of miRNAs in the formation of calcium oxalate stones.
