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

Serum miRNAs are potential biomarkers for predicting the progress of bone diseases, but little is known about miRNAs in alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (AIONFH). This study evaluated disease-prevention value of specific serum miRNA expression profiles in AIONFH. MiRNA PCR Panel was taken to explore specific miRNAs in serum of AIONFH cases. The top differentially miRNAs were further validated by RT-qPCR assay in serum and bone tissues of two independent cohorts. Their biofunction and target genes were predicted by bioinformatics databases. Target genes related with angiogenesis and osteogenesis were quantified by RT-qPCR in necrotic bone tissue. Our findings demonstrated that multiple miRNAs were evaluated to be differentially expressed with high dignostic values. MiR-127-3p, miR-628-3p, and miR-1 were downregulated, whereas miR-885-5p, miR-483-3p, and miR-483-5p were upregulated in serum and bone samples from the AIONFH patients compared to those from the normal control individuals (p < 0.01). The predicted target genes of the indicated miRNAs quantified by qRT-PCR, including IGF2, PDGFA, RUNX2, PTEN, and VEGF, were presumed to be altered in necrotic bone tissue of AIONFH patients. The presence of five altered miRNAs in AIONFH patients may serve as non-invasive biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for the early diagnosis of AIONFH.
