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

backgroundMicro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that modulate many target genes. Viral myocarditis is common cardiomyopathy, however, there is an absence of effective therapeutic strategies for viral myocarditis (VMC). The purpose of this research was to characterize changes in miRNAs expression in VMC mice.

methodsAtrial myocytes were infected coxsackievirus B3 and miRNAs microarray was performed. miRNAs target predicted and the bioinformatics analysis was carried out by gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. To validate the results, Difference miRNAs were identified in heart of mice by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

resultsWe identified 94 miRNAs that were differentially expressed (27 were up-regulated and 67 were down-regulated by at least 2.0-fold). Real time PCR analysis has confirmed that the expression levels of 7 miRNAs up-regulated, 18 miRNAs down-regulated. They were mainly involved in protein binding, small GTPase mediated signal transduction, protein phosphorylation by GO. Pathway analysis showed that a significant enrichment in several pathways related to cAMP signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, RAS signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, Oxytocin signaling pathway.

conclusionsOur results provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of viral myocarditis pathophysiology.
