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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have an important role in adipose tissue function and energy metabolism homeostasis, and abnormalities may lead to obesity. To investigate whether lncRNAs are involved in childhood obesity, we investigated the differential expression profile of lncRNAs in obese children compared with non-obese children. A total number of 1268 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1085 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analysis revealed that these lncRNAs were involved in varied biological processes, including the inflammatory response, lipid metabolic process, osteoclast differentiation and fatty acid metabolism. In addition, the lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were constructed to identify hub regulatory lncRNAs and genes based on the microarray expression profiles. This study for the first time identifies an expression profile of differentially expressed lncRNAs in obese children and indicated hub lncRNA RP11-20G13.3 attenuated adipogenesis of preadipocytes, which is conducive to the search for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of childhood obesity.
