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

introductionDiagnosis of the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (IA) relies on sophisticated neuro-imaging studies, and molecular biomarkers to identify an IA or predict its rupture are still unavailable.

objectiveOur objective was to determine the plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in patients with ruptured IA presenting as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and identify potential biomarkers of aneurysmal rupture.

methodsPlasma miRNA profiling was carried out using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in 20 patients with aSAH and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Eight differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by qPCR in a larger cohort of 88 patients with aSAH and 110 healthy controls. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the overall performance of the miRNA-based assay. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was used to determine the potential pathway of miRNA-target genes.

resultsThe miRNA profiles were clearly distinct in patients compared with controls. Validation studies showed that three upregulated miRNAs (miR-15a-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-374a-5p) and five downregulated miRNAs (miR-146a-5p, miR-376c-3p, miR-18b-5p, miR-24-3p, miR-27b-3p) could distinguish patients with aSAH from healthy controls with high predicted probability (0.865 and 0.995, respectively). Further, the expression levels of the eight candidate miRNAs were significantly dysregulated only in aSAH cases and not in patients with SAH due to other causes. Plasma miR-146a-5p and miR-27b-3p were associated with clinical outcomes in patients with aSAH. Functional analysis of the eight differentially expressed miRNA showed that the target genes involved in signaling pathways were related to inflammation.

conclusionsOur study determined the plasma miRNA signature of ruptured IAs and identified eight candidate miRNAs that could be useful biomarkers for this condition. We hypothesize that these differentially expressed miRNAs may play pivotal roles in IA pathology.
