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

backgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), can regulate various pathophysiological processes by binding competitively to microRNAs at the post-transcription level. Our previous work demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was lowly expressed in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats. However, the ceRNA network in DPN mediated by lncRNAs and miR-146a-5p remains to be explored.

methodsTwo groups of rats (n=4 per group), a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) group and a DPN group, were used in this study. Sciatic nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of each rat was determined at the 6th and the 12th week. LncRNA microarray analysis was performed in the sciatic nerve of DPN and T2DM rats. Based on the TargetScan algorithm and the miRanda database, we determined the differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs bound to miR-146a-5p. Furthermore, we verified the DE lncRNAs potentially bound to miR-146a-5p by qRT-PCR. The genes targeted by miR-146a-5p were identified by bioinformatics prediction and experimental techniques.

resultsWe found 413 DE lncRNAs between DPN and T2DM rats (|log2FC| ≥ 2 and adjust

conclusionLncRNAs may contribute to the pathogenesis of DPN by regulating inflammation through functioning as ceRNAs of miR-146a-5p.
