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

Due to the lack of typical clinical symptoms, the average delay time for diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is longer than 2 years. It is urgent to find biomarkers for PH diagnosis. In this study we investigated whether plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used as biomarkers for PH diagnosis. We used microarray to identify dynamic miRNAs between PH and non-PH patients. The candidate miRNAs were verified using qRT-PCR in a mouse model of PH, which was induced by monocrotaline (MCT) injection. We observed that miR-21, miR-126, miR-145, miR-191 and miR-150 had no differences between control mice and MCT-treated mice; but plasma miR-451 was significantly decreased in the 2wk-MCT group, with no further decrease in the 4wk-MCT group. Plasma miR-451 was also markedly decreased in PH patients, whereas miR-21, miR-126, miR-150 and miR-320 did not show differences between 53 PH patients and 54 non-PH patients. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) were constructed from the patient data to assess the clinical diagnostic values of circulating miR-451 and Doppler echocardiography (D-ECHO). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of ROCs for miR-451 and D-ECHO were 0.710 and 0.766, respectively. Combination of miR-451 and D-ECHO with AUC of 0.825 was superior to the use of either miR-451 or D-ECHO alone for PH diagnosis. In conclusion, plasma miR-451 has a moderate diagnostic value in PH comparable to that of D-ECHO, and the combination of miR-451 with D-ECHO has better diagnostic value than either method alone, which may have implications for PH diagnosis.
