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

objectiveTo investigate the expression and clinical significance of miR-146a and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in myasthenia gravis (MG) patient serum.

methodsThe serum of 52 patients with MG and 60 healthy individuals was collected in our hospital. The expression of miR-146a and TRAF6 in serum was measured by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Comparison among serum miR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA group clinical characteristics and assorted expressions was done with the correlation among the two groups evaluated. Logistics regression was used to analyze the effect of miR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA on MG development with the ROC curve applied for an investigation into the diagnostic role of miR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA expression in MG development.

resultsmiR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA were significantly increased in the patients with MG compared with the healthy controls. Significant differences were identified in respiratory muscle endurance, muscle weakness level, vital capacity, and maximal voluntary ventilation between the two groups. Additionally, correlation analysis has discovered a positive correlation between miR-146a and TRAF mRNA expression in patients with MG. miR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA are independent MG occurrence factors exhibited by multivariate analysis while areas under ROC curve (AUCs) of miR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA in MG diagnosis were established by ROC curve analysis with results being 0.782 and 0.703, correspondingly.

conclusionmiR-146a and TRAF6 mRNA are highly expressed in MG patients and can affect MG occurrence. miR-146a is a suitable candidate marker for diagnosing MG.
