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

The present study determined the expression of microRNA (miR)-378 in the peripheral blood and lung tissues of children with asthma, and investigated its effect and mechanism of action on the biological functions of airway smooth muscle cells. A total of 23 asthmatic children and 15 healthy children were included in the study. Peripheral blood and tissues were obtained from asthmatic children. Healthy children provided peripheral blood. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the expression of miR-378. Airway smooth muscle cells were isolated and cultured
