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

Human adenovirus (HAdV) infection causes serious pneumonia in children, leading to significant morbidity and mortality rates. However, diagnostic biomarkers for HAdV‑associated pneumonia are unavailable. Serum microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been recently reported as diagnostic biomarkers for several diseases. The present study performed microRNA sequencing to identify potential biomarkers among serum exosomal miRNAs, with the aim of identifying candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis of pneumonia in adenovirus‑infected children. To validate the biomarker candidates, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was performed to determine the relative expression levels of miRNAs. As there is no endogenous reference RNA for serum miRNAs, pairwise analysis of RT‑qPCR was used in the present study to narrow down the number of biomarker candidates among all the serum exosomal miRNAs to a set of four miRNAs. As a result, the identified miRNAs (namely, miR‑450a‑5p‑miR‑103a‑3p and miR‑103b‑5p‑miR‑98‑5p) from 59 samples were considered as potential diagnostic biomarkers in adenovirus‑infected children. The results indicated that this four miRNA set could distinguish adenovirus‑infected patients from healthy controls. In conclusion, the four exosomal miRNAs identified in the present study could be considered as candidate diagnostic biomarkers for pneumonia in adenovirus‑infected children.
