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

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a relatively common cause of heart failure and the leading cause of heart transplantation. Aberrant changes in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in DCM disorder; however, the detailed mechanisms underlying DCM initiation and progression require further investigation, and new molecular targets are needed. Here, we obtained lncRNA-expression profiles associated with DCM and non-failing hearts through microarray probe-sequence re-annotation. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis revealed a module highly associated with DCM status. Then eight hub lncRNAs in this module (FGD5-AS1, AC009113.1, WDFY3-AS2, NIFK-AS1, ZNF571-AS1, MIR100HG, AC079089.1, and EIF3J-AS1) were identified. All hub lncRNAs except ZNF571-AS1 were predicted as localizing to the cytoplasm. As a possible mechanism of DCM pathogenesis, we predicted that these hub lncRNAs might exert functions by acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Furthermore, we found that the above results can be essentially reproduced in an independent external dataset. We observed the localization of hub lncRNAs by RNA-FISH in human aortic smooth muscle cells and confirmed the upregulation of the hub lncRNAs in DCM patients through quantitative RT-PCR. In conclusion, these findings identified eight candidate lncRNAs associated with DCM disease and revealed their potential involvement in DCM partly through ceRNA crosstalk. Our results facilitate the discovery of therapeutic targets and enhance the understanding of DCM pathogenesis.
