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

backgroundCardiac hypertrophy and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are two common heart diseases worldwide. However, research is needed into the exact pathogenesis and effective treatment strategies for these diseases. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested to regulate the pathological pathways of heart disease, indicating a potential role in novel treatments.

resultsIn our study, we constructed a miRNA-gene-drug network and analyzed its topological features. We also identified some significantly dysregulated miRNA-gene-drug triplets (MGDTs) in cardiac hypertrophy and AMI using a computational method. Then, we characterized the activity score profile features for MGDTs in cardiac hypertrophy and AMI. The functional analyses suggested that the genes in the network held special functions. We extracted an insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor-related subnetwork in cardiac hypertrophy and a vascular endothelial growth factor A-related subnetwork in AMI. Finally, we considered insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor A as two candidate drug targets by utilizing the cardiac hypertrophy and AMI pathways.

conclusionThese results provide novel insights into the mechanisms and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and AMI.
