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

RNA therapeutics mainly control gene expression at the transcript level. In contrast to conventional gene therapy which solely increases production of a protein, delivered RNAs can enhance, reduce or abolish synthesis of a particular protein, which control its relevant activities in a more diverse fashion. Thus, they hold promise to treat many human diseases including myocardial infarction (MI). MI is a serious health burden that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. An unmet clinical need for treating MI is the recovery of cardiac function, which requires regeneration of the functional tissues including the vasculature, nerves, and myocardium. Several classes of RNA therapeutics have been investigated in preclinical MI models, and the results have demonstrated their benefits and encourage their future development. In this review, we summarize the common RNA therapeutic approaches and highlight their application in MI therapy.
