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

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the plasma expression of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) that may be associated with the pathogenesis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). PATIENTS AND

methodsThirty patients with FMF (18 males, 12 females; mean age 9.1±4.7 years; range, 3 to 15.5 years) and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy children (18 males, 12 females; mean age 9.5±4.6 years; range, 4 to 16.5 years) were included in this study. The plasma levels of four candidate miRNAs (miRNA-16, miRNA-155, miRNA-204 and miRNA-451) were measured in all subjects. The plasma levels of miRNAs were analyzed with real- time polymerase chain reaction in attack and remission periods of patients and healthy controls (HCs).

resultsPlasma miRNA-204 levels of FMF patients were decreased 6.5 fold in remission period compared to HCs (p<0.001). This decrease was more prominent in M694V mutation carriers. Plasma miRNA-155 levels of FMF patients were lower in remission period (p=0.03).

conclusionOur findings showed significant alterations in the plasma expression of miRNA-155 and miRNA-204 in FMF patients compared to HCs. Our data suggest that miRNA-155 and miRNA-204 may be related to the pathogenesis of FMF. Further comprehensive and functional researches may help to clarify the role of miRNAs in FMF and elucidate the pathogenesis of the disease.
