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

objectivesUrinary microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown great diagnostic and prognostic values for multiple diseases. The profile of urinary miRNAs in patients with idiopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is currently unclear.

methodsWe first randomly chose ten patients with each Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage (I, II, III and IV) and ten healthy participants from the entire cohorts for initial screening. The miRNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array was then performed to identify the differentially abundant miRNAs in urine of these participants. We then verified the findings in the entire cohort. Clinical features including age, gender, bone mass index (BMI), lesion size and stages were recorded. We then analysed the association between the level of urinary miRNAs and clinical features.

resultsOur data indicated that there were 13 differentially abundant miRNAs among all groups. Urinary miR-150 demonstrated the highest diagnostic value among all candidates. Urinary miR-185 and miR-133a increased by ARCO staging. The levels of urinary miR-4824 abruptly decreased after femoral head collapse (ARCO stage III and IV). Urinary miR-144 was the only marker that correlated with lesion size.

conclusionsThe levels of urinary miRNAs are valuable biomarkers for idiopathic ONFH. Given the noninvasive nature of this test, it is potentially useful for diagnosis and monitoring of idiopathic ONFH progression. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: This article gives novel methods for ONFH diagnosis and progression monitoring in a convenient and non-invasive way.
