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

backgroundIdiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is a major cause of adult nephrotic syndromes, and reliable noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring are urgently needed. In this study, we performed small RNA (sRNA) sequencing to explore sRNA profiles of urinary exosomes derived from IMN patients and healthy controls (CON) to provide clues for identifying novel noninvasive sRNA biomarkers for IMN.

methodsUrine samples were collected from five healthy controls and six patients with IMN. High-throughput sequencing was used to screen sRNA expression profiles of urinary exosomes from patients with IMN in two independent cohorts.

resultsUrinary exosomes were successfully isolated and used to obtain exosomal sRNAs. We screened 131 differentially expressed miRNAs, including 28 specifically expressed miRNAs, then explored the top 10 specifically expressed miRNAs in all IMN individuals. The specifically expressed miRNAs and differentially expressed miRNAs provide potential biomarkers for IMN. Additionally, we discovered numerous sRNAs derived from genomic repetitive sequences, which could represent an exciting new area of research.

conclusionHerein, we revealed significant differences in expression profiles of urinary exosomal miRNAs and repetitive region-derived sRNAs between patients with IMN and healthy controls. The findings could facilitate the development of potential molecular targets for membranous nephropathy.
