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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a new class of regulatory molecules with diverse cellular functions. Recent reports have suggested that extracellular lncRNAs are detectable in human plasma and may serve as biomarkers. Here, we sought to investigate circulating lncRNAs as potential biomarkers for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Eighty-four lncRNAs, representing some of the most abundant and functionally relevant candidates identified in cellular studies, were assessed via RT-qPCR in plasma from PAH and healthy subjects. However, despite preamplification, the majority of lncRNAs were surprisingly undetectable or sporadically detectable, and showed no differential changes. Systematic characterization of plasma/RNA quality and technical performance via internal and external controls revealed no evidence of RNA degradation or RT-qPCR inhibition, and most lncRNAs were robustly detectable in pulmonary tissue. In plasma, lncRNA levels were the lowest among several different RNA species examined, and this was generalizable to other chronic and acute vascular conditions including coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, and septic shock. In addition, two of three previously reported circulating lncRNA biomarker candidates were not detectable in any of the plasma samples. This study reveals new insight on the relative levels of lncRNAs in circulation, which has important implications for their potential development as biomarkers.
