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

backgroundThe occurrence and development of atherosclerosis (AS) are closely related to the abnormality of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of AS. This study explored the expression and clinical value of miR-374 in the serum of AS patients, and analyzed its effect on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-374 in the serum of 102 asymptomatic patients with AS and 89 healthy patients were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The diagnostic value of miR-374 was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. What's more, CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to analyze the effects of miR-374 on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs.

resultsThe expression level of miR-374 in the serum of AS patients was significantly higher than that of the control group. At the same time, the expression of miR-374 in AS patients was positively correlated with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). The area under the ROC curve is 0.824. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-374 significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, whereas reducing miR-374 inhibited the proliferation and migration of VSMCs.

conclusionsThe high expression of miR-374 may be a potential diagnostic marker for AS, and overexpression of miR-374 may play a role in AS by promoting the proliferation and migration of VSMCs.
