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

Essential hypertension is a chronic medical condition affecting thousands of people worldwide. Hypertension results from interplay of genetic and environmental factors. MicroRNAs regulate gene expression and can be biomarkers for disease. MicroRNA let-7e and microRNA 296-5p have been linked to different cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine association of serum miRNA let-7e and miRNA 296-5p with essential hypertension in Egyptian patients. MicroRNA let-7e and miRNA-296-5p expression was determined in sera of 25 hypertensive patients and 25 normotensive controls by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Hypertensive patients showed significantly higher expression of miRNA let-7e (3.23-fold increase,
