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

Hyposalivation is a complication of hypertension. However, little is known about the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in salivary glands in hypertension. This study aimed to compare the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles between spontaneous hypertension rats (SHRs) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats through microarray analysis and apple bioinformatics methods to analyse their potential roles in hyposalivation. The differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Compared with WKY rats, 225 DE lncRNAs and 473 DE mRNAs were identified in the SMG of SHRs. The pathway analyses of DE mRNAs showed that inflammatory mediator regulation of transient receptor potential channels was involved in hyposalivation in SHRs. Ten DE lncRNAs were chosen for further research. A coding-non-coding gene co-expression (CNC) network and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network analysis revealed that the potential functions of these 10 DE lncRNAs were closely connected with the processes of the immune response. This study showed abundant DE lncRNAs and mRNAs in hypertensive SMGs. Furthermore, our results indicated strong associations between the immune response and hyposalivation and showed the potential of immune-related genes as novel and therapeutic targets for hyposalivation.
