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

introductionDespite the fact that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is a proven method for detecting myocardial fibrosis, there is a need for new and reliable serological biomarkers. Circulating miRNAs could be a practical and attractive alternative. The purpose of the study was to assess the miRNAs well established in myocardial fibrosis - miR-21, miR-29a, miR-30d and miR-133a - in the plasma of patients with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) that have areas of LGE assessed by CMR. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 13 adult patients (9 males and 4 females; mean age: 39 ±11.7 years) considered to meet standard CMR criteria for LVNC and 10 healthy age- and sex-matched subjects. All LVNC patients and control subjects underwent CMR examination and the measurement of peripheral plasma levels of 4 miRNAs: miR-21, miR-29a, miR-30d and miR-133a.

resultsThe LGE was present in 9 of the 13 (69.2%) LVNC patients, and most often located in the ventricular septum. Compared with LGE-negative patients, LGE-positive patients had significantly lower LVEF (28.3 ±13.3% vs. 53.5 ±14.9%,

conclusionsThe up-regulation of miR-21, miR-29a, miR-30d and miR-133a indicates the presence of LGE in LVNC patients, and therefore they may serve as potential biomarkers for myocardial fibrosis.
