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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HULC in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

methodsLncRNA HULC in plasma samples from 215 first episode AIS patients and 215 age/gender-matched non-AIS controls was detected by reverse transcriptional-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Then, in AIS patients, interleukin-6 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), as well as microRNA (miR) target of lncRNA HUCL (miR-9 and miR-195), were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and RT-qPCR, respectively. Disease severity was assessed by National Institution of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score. AIS recurrence or death was recorded, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was calculated.

resultsLncRNA HULC was increased in AIS patients compared to non-AIS controls (P < .001), and receiver operating characteristic curve showed that it was correlated with increased AIS risk (area under curve: 0.876, 95% confidence interval: 0.843-0.908). Meanwhile, lncRNA HULC was positively correlated with NIHSS score (P < .001, r = .456), interleukin-6 (P < .001, r = .275) and ICAM1 (P < .001, r = .383), whereas negatively correlated with miR-9 (P < .001, r = -.438) but not miR-195 (P = .205, r = -.087) in AIS patients. Additionally, miR-9 was negatively correlated with NIHSS score (P < .001, r = -.335), interleukin-6 (P = .001, r = -.231), and ICAM1 (P < .001, r = -.280), while miR-195 was only negatively associated with NIHSS score (P = .041, r = -.139) in AIS patients. Moreover, lncRNA HULC high expression predicted worse RFS (P = .013) in AIS patients.

conclusionLncRNA HULC is correlated with higher AIS risk, increased disease severity and worse prognosis in AIS patients. Meanwhile, it associates with higher IL-6, elevated ICAM1, and lower miR-9 AIS patients.
