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

backgroundCirculating miRNAs can function as biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. However, it is unclear whether miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To this end, we applied gene chip technology to analyze miRNA expression in patients with stable angina (SA), non-ST elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

methodsWe enrolled patients with chest pain who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography, including five patients each with SA, NSTE-ACS, or STEMI, and five controls without coronary artery disease (CAD) but with three or more risk factors. After microarray analysis, differential miRNA expression was confirmed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

resultsCompared with those in patients with STEMI, differentially expressed microRNAs in controls and patients with SA or NSTE-ACS were involved in inflammation, protein phosphorylation, and cell adhesion. Pathway analysis showed that differentially expressed miRNAs were related to the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, calcium ion pathways, and cell adhesion pathways. Compared with their expression levels in patients with STEMI, miR-941, miR-363-3p, and miR-182-5p were significantly up-regulated (fold-change: 2.0 or more, P < 0.05) in controls and patients with SA or NSTE-ACS. Further, qRT-PCR showed that plasma miR-941 level was elevated in patients with NSTE-ACS or STEMI as compared with that in patients without CAD (fold-change: 1.65 and 2.28, respectively; P < 0.05). Additionally, miR-941 expression was significantly elevated in the STEMI group compared with that in the SA (P < 0.01) and NSTE-ACS groups (P < 0.05). Similarly, miR-941 expression was higher in patients with ACS (NSTE-ACS or STEMI) than in patients without ACS (without CAD or with SA; P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in miR-182-5p and miR-363-3p expression. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.896, 0.808, and 0.781 for patients in the control, SA, and NSTE-ACS groups, respectively, compared with that for patients with STEMI; that for the ACS group compared with the non-ACS group was 0.734.

conclusionmiR-941 expression was relatively higher in patients with ACS and STEMI. Thus, miR-941 may be a potential biomarker of ACS or STEMI.
