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

Macrophages play a crucial role in the control and elimination of invading Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and also serve as the major residence for Mtb. However, the interaction between macrophages and Mtb remains to be clearly determined. Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in many biological processes, their roles in anti-mycobacterial responses of macrophages remain to be elucidated. Here, we applied microarray analysis to examine lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in human primary macrophages after 72 h of infection with H37Ra or H37Rv. Our results revealed that many lncRNAs were differentially expressed in macrophages after H37Ra or H37Rv infection, indicating a possible role for lncRNAs in immune responses induced by Mtb infection and providing important cues for further functional studies. Furthermore, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) biological pathway analysis of the differentially expressed mRNAs showed the potential functions and pathways related to the pathogenesis of Mtb infection. Finally, two lncRNAs, MIR3945HG V1 and MIR3945HG V2, were identified as novel candidate diagnostic markers for tuberculosis. Our results provide novel insight into the mechanisms of the pivotal Mtb-macrophage interactions, and reveal potential targets for diagnostics and the treatment of tuberculosis.
