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

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in physiological and pathological processes of CAD. We chose the targetscore method calculated via the variational Bayesian Gaussian mixture model (VB-GMM) as the prediction method of target genes. By observing the density overlap, we selected the thresholds of miRNA-1 and miRNA-155. In total, 18 target genes of miRNA-1, and 19 target genes of miRNA-155 were identified. The threshold of miRNA-146a was selected using the |logFC| value, and 16 target genes were screened out. In this study, our major contribution was to predict the target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of the chosen miRNAs with the gene expression profiles, which can effectively reduce the workload of screening. Although the validated genes constituted only a small part in the final prediction results, it is a good sign for research in the future. It means that we could provide new research aims for future studies focusing on miRNA regulatory mechanisms.
