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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have important roles in inflammation and infections, which are common manifestations of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study aimed to assess whether serum miRNAs are potential diagnostic biomarkers for human ARDS. For this, two sets of serum samples from healthy individuals and patients with ARDS were analysed by high-throughput sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes in ARDS. A total of 679 valid sequences were identified as differentially expressed (P<0.05). Of these, five differentially expressed miRNAs were subjected to reverse transcription-quantitative PCR validation. Finally, two miRNAs (miR-584 and miR-146a) were successfully verified. These two miRNAs were significantly downregulated in the serum of patients with ARDS. Gene Ontology annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that their target transcripts were implicated in a broad range of biological processes and various metabolic pathways, including involvement in the regulation of various inflammatory factors. The present study provided a framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms of ARDS and suggested that miR-584 and miR-146a are associated with ARDS and may be potential therapeutic targets.
