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

Post-transcriptional regulation by miRNAs plays an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however, the roles of specific miRNAs in RA pathogenesis remain largely unclear. This study performed dual-omics (miRNA and mRNA) integration analysis and in-depth cellular and molecular functional exploration to identify novel RA-associated miRNAs and to understand their underlying pathogenic mechanism. Based on the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a discovery sample set (25 RA cases and 18 healthy controls), 18 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMIRs) (|Fold-change|>2 and P < 0.05) were identified and corresponding interaction networks of DEMIRs and mRNA were constructed. After the expression validation of the DEMIRs in a validation sample set (35 RA cases and 35 healthy controls), miR-99b-5p was highlighted. The over-expression of newly discovered miR-99b-5p is able to suppress T cell apoptosis, promote cell proliferation and activation, increase expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ), and inhibit expression of its target genes mTOR and RASSF4. This study comprehensively identified PBMC-expressed miRNAs along with corresponding regulatory networks significant for RA and discovered miR-99b-5p as a novel post-transcriptional mediator involved in RA pathogenesis. The findings improved our understanding of RA pathogenesis and provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying RA pathogenesis.
