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

Recently, miRNAs have emerged as new indirect markers of inflammation that are associated with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between miR29a and proteinuria in hypertension. Fifty patients with normal albuminuria, fifty patients with micro-albuminuria, and fifty patients with macro-albuminuria were enrolled. The highest levels of miR-29a and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were observed in the macro-albuminuria group, followed by the micro-albuminuria and the normal albuminuria groups. The level of miR-29a was negatively correlated with the glomerular filtration rate, but was positively correlated with C-reactive protein, TGF-β1, and the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR). Circulating miR-29a was found to be significantly and independently associated with proteinuria. Our findings showed that miR-29a reflects the pathogenesis of hypertensive nephropathy and may serve as a potential non-invasive marker for detecting early stages of hypertensive nephropathy.
