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

Purpose: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs and have attracted attention as a biomarker in a variety of diseases. However, extensive unbiased miRNAs analysis in patients with uveitis has not been completely explored. In the present study, we comprehensively analyzed the deregulated miRNAs in three major forms of uveitis (Behҫet's disease [BD], sarcoidosis and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease [VKH]) to search for potential biomarkers. Methods: This study included 10 patients with BD, 17 patients with sarcoidosis, and 13 patients with VKH. Eleven healthy subjects were used as controls. The miRNAs expression levels were studied by microarray using serum samples from patients with uveitis and healthy controls. Results: A total of 281 upregulated miRNAs and 137 downregulated miRNAs were detected in patients with BD, 35 upregulated miRNAs and 86 downregulated miRNAs in patients with sarcoidosis, and 153 upregulated miRNAs and 35 downregulated miRNAs in patients with VKH. Some deregulated miRNAs were involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and inflammatory cytokine pathways. Furthermore, we identified miR-4708-3p, miR-4323, and let-7g-3p as the best predictor miRNAs for BD, sarcoidosis, and VKH, respectively. Panels of miRNAs with diagnostic potential for the three diseases were generated using machine learning. Conclusions: In this study, comprehensive miRNA analysis identified deregulated miRNAs in three major forms of noninfectious uveitis. This study provides new insights into molecular pathogenetic mechanisms and useful information toward developing novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for BD, sarcoidosis, and VKH.
