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

backgroundThe development of effective immunosuppressive regimens has resulted in many cases of successful hand transplantation. Visual skin inspection and histological evaluation are used to assess the rejection of hand transplants, but these methods are largely subjective. In this study, we aimed to determine the potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers for acute rejection in vascularized composite allotransplants.

methodsIn allograft group, 7 male Brown-Norway rats (RT1

resultsSkin changes occurred at a mean of 11.0 days posttransplant. Rejection in most skin biopsies taken 7 and 10 days posttransplant was histologically classified as grade 0, whereas that in most biopsies taken 14 days posttransplant was classified as grade 3. We found that expression of miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 was significantly upregulated at 10 and 14 days posttransplant compared with that at 7 days posttransplant. In control group, there were no significant changes in plasma miRNAs expressions.

conclusionsThe upregulation of plasma miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 was detected before the histological evaluation methods could diagnose complete rejection in the rat hindlimb transplantation model. Plasma miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 may be potential biomarkers of acute rejection after vascularized composite allotransplantation.
