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

backgroundCarotid artery stenosis (CAS) is an important risk factor for cerebral ischemia events (CIE). Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the occurrence and development of CAS.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to reveal the clinical diagnostic value of miR-342-5p for asymptomatic CAS (ACAS) and to evaluate its predictive value for the occurrence of CIE in patients.

methodsA total of 92 ACAS patients and 86 healthy controls were enrolled as subjects. The expression level of serum miR-342-5p was detected by qRT-PCR. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to detect the diagnostic value of miR-342-5p in ACAS. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analysis assessed the predictive value of miR-342-5p for the occurrence of CIE in ACAS patients.

resultsThe level of serum miR-342-5p in ACAS patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P < 0.05). ROC curve showed the high diagnostic value of serum miR-342-5p, which could distinguish ACAS patients from healthy controls. Multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that miR-342-5p was an independent predictor (HR = 5.512, 95%CI = 1.370-22.176, P = 0.016). What is more, Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed that patients with high miR-342-5p expression develop more CIE (log-rank, P = 0.020).

conclusionsmiR-342-5p was significantly overexpressed in ACAS. And the upregulation of serum miR-342-5p is a valuable diagnostic biomarker and can predict the occurrence of CIE.
