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 one of the biggest threats to human life. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be linked to the pathogenesis of CAD, indicating the possible role in CAD diagnosis. The present study aimed to explore the expression profile of plasma miRNAs and estimate their value in diagnosis for CAD. 67 Non-CAD control subjects and 88 CAD patients were enrolled. We conducted careful evaluation by RT-PCR analysis, Spearman rank correlation coefficients analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves analysis and so on. The plasma levels of six miRNAs known to be related to CAD were measured and three of them showed obvious expression change. Circulating miR-29a-3p, miR-574-3p and miR-574-5p were all significantly increased. ROC analysis revealed the probability of the three miRNAs as biomarkers with AUCs (areas under the ROC curve) of 0.830, 0.792 and 0.789, respectively. They were significantly correlated with each other in CAD patients, suggesting the possibility of joint diagnosis. The combined AUC was 0.915, much higher than each single miRNA. Therefore, our study revealed three promising biomarkers for early diagnosis of CAD. The combination of these miRNAs may act more effectively than individual ones for CAD diagnosis.
