Association between cytokines and two circulating micro-RNAs and development of premature ventricular contractions-induced cardiomyopathy.

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.
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
objectivesRecent progress in understanding the pathogenesis of premature ventricular contraction (PVC)-induced cardiomyopathy (PIC) has suggested a key role for inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and the protein production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and two circulating micro-RNAs related to inflammation and cardiovascular disease; miR-155 and miR-146. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study population was comprised 25 patients with PIC and 25 patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction despite frequent PVCs. TNF-α, IL-6, IL10, and IFN-γ levels were evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by flow cytometry and their mRNAs were assessed by real time PCR. We analyzed circulating levels of these cytokines by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Two circulating micro-RNAs, miR-155 and miR-146a, were also investigated.
resultsThe flow cytometry findings showed that the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of antibodies reacted with the IL-6 and TNF-α were higher in PIC group than the control group (
conclusionIn our patients with PIC, there was an elevation in the expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in PBMCs. This finding may provide further insights into the inflammatory pathways involved in PIC.
