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

Diabetes, the most common endocrine disorder, also known as a silent killer disease, is characterized by uncontrolled hyperglycemia. According to the International Diabetes Federation, there were 451 million people with diabetes mellitus worldwide in 2017. It is a multifactorial syndrome caused by genetic as well as environmental factors. Noncoding RNAs, especially the miRNAs, play a significant role in the development as well as the progression of the disease. This is on account of insulin resistance or defects in β cell function. Various miRNAs including miR-7, miR-9, miR-16, miR-27, miR-24, miR-29, miR-124a, miR-135, miR-130a, miR-144, miR-181a, and miR-375 and many more have been associated with insulin resistance and other pathogenic conditions leading to the development of the disease. These miRNAs play significant roles in various pathways underlying insulin resistance such as PI3K, AKT/GSK, and mTOR. The main target genes of these miRNAs are FOXO1, FOXA2, STAT3, and PTEN. The miRNAs carry out important functions in insulin target tissues like the adipose tissue, liver, and muscle. MiRNAs miR-9, miR-375, and miR-124a, are also associated with the secretion of insulin from pancreatic cells. There is an interplay between the miRNAs and pancreatic cell growth, especially the miRNAs affecting development and proliferation of these cells. Most of the miRNAs target more than one gene which not only justifies their use as biomarkers but also their therapeutic potential. The current review has been compiled with an aim to discuss the role of various miRNAs involved in various pathogenic mechanisms including insulin resistance, insulin secretion, and the β cell dysfunction.
