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

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by bone loss and altered bone remodeling, resulting into reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fractures. Identification of specific biomarkers and/or causative factors of diabetic bone fragility is of fundamental importance for an early detection of such alterations and to envisage appropriate therapeutic interventions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs which negatively regulate genes expression. Of note, miRNAs can be secreted in biological fluids through their association with different cellular components and, in such context, they may represent both candidate biomarkers and/or mediators of bone metabolism alterations. Here, we aimed at identifying miRNAs differentially expressed in serum of T1D patients and potentially involved in bone loss in type 1 diabetes. We selected six miRNAs previously associated with T1D and bone metabolism: miR-21; miR-24; miR-27a; miR-148a; miR-214; and miR-375. Selected miRNAs were analyzed in sera of 15 T1D patients (age: 33.57 ± 8.17; BMI: 21.4 ± 1.65) and 14 non-diabetic subjects (age: 31.7 ± 8.2; BMI: 24.6 ± 4.34). Calcium, osteocalcin, parathormone (PTH), bone ALkaline Phoshatase (bALP), and Vitamin D (VitD) as well as main parameters of bone health were measured in each patient. We observed an increased expression of miR-148a (
