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

The present study aimed to explore the diagnostic values of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and microRNA (miR)-141 in patients with osteoarthritis and their association with the severity of knee osteoarthritis. In total 142 patients with osteoarthritis (the study group) admitted to Shanghai TCM-Integrated Hospital, Shanghai University of TCM from January 2017 to January 2019 and 150 healthy controls (the control group) were enrolled in the present study. NLR and miR-141 in peripheral blood and their diagnostic values for osteoarthritis were compared between the two groups. The two indicators in the study group were significantly increased (P<0.001), and their combined detection had a better diagnostic value for the disease (P<0.001). Moreover, they were closely associated to the progression of the disease and were independent risk factors (P<0.001). To sum up, NLR and miR-141 were significantly increased in the peripheral blood of patients with osteoarthritis. Their combined detection exhibited a good diagnostic value for the disease and may become a potential therapeutic target osteoarthritis in the future.
