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

backgroundAnorectal malformations (ARMs) are the most common congenital malformation of the gut, and regulated by multiple signal transduction pathways. The microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles and their biologial functions in anorectal malformations (ARMs) remain unclear. The aim of our study was to evaluate miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the ARM rats. METHODS AND MATERIALS: ARM was induced with ethylenethiourea (ETU) on gestational day 10. Cesarean deliveries were performed to harvest the embryos on gestional day 20. For the extraction of total RNA, 1 cm terminal hindgut samples were obtained from three fetal rats that had similar weights. The microarrays and quantitative RT-PCR analysis were conducted to evaluate the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in normal fetal rats (

resultsIn total, 33 miRNAs and 772 mRNAs were significantly and differentially expressed in terminal hindgut tissues of ARM group versus control group. Functional annotation was performed to understand the functions and pathways of differentially expressed mRNAs. Also, we constructed a miRNA-target gene regulatory network including 25 differentially expressed miRNAs and 76 mRNAs. Furthermore, the credibility of the microarray-based results were validated by using qRT-PCR.

conclusionThe miRNA and mRNA expression in terminal hindgut tissue of ARM fetal rats might provide a basis for further research on the pathogenesis of ARMs.
