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

An important attribute of microRNAs is their potential use as disease biomarkers. However, such applications may be restricted because of unsatisfactory performance of the microRNA of interest. Owing to moderate correlation with spine T-score, miR-194-5p was identified as a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Here, we determined whether medical examination could improve its characteristic as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. We recruited 230 postmenopausal Chinese women to measure circulating levels of miR-194-5p, determine the spine bone status, and perform a 42-item medical examination. No obvious information redundancy was observed between miR-194-5p and any one item. However, on examining miR-194-5p alone, the sensitivity at fixed specificity of 0.9 (SE
