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

objectiveLong non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific 5 (lnc-GAS5) and its targets (microRNA [miR]-21 and miR-140) are involved in the development and progression of allergic rhinitis (AR). However, the correlation of lnc-GAS5 with miR-21 and miR-140 and their associations with disease risk, symptom severity, and Th1/Th2 cytokines in AR remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate this topic.

methodsIn total, 120 patients with AR and 60 controls were recruited. Nasal-mucosa tissues were collected from all participants. Lnc-GAS5, its targets (miR-21 and miR-140), interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, and IL-10 were detected by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

resultsLnc-GAS5 was elevated, while miR-21 and miR-140 was downregulated in AR patients than in controls (p < 0.001). In AR patients, lnc-GAS5 was negatively correlated with miR-21 (p < 0.001), miR-140 (p < 0.001), IFN-γ (p = 0.019), and IL-2 (p = 0.039) and positively correlated with IL-4 (p = 0.004) and IL-10 (p < 0.001), individual nasal symptom scores (INSSs) for itching, sneezing, and congestion (p < 0.05), and total nasal symptom score (TNSS) (p < 0.001). Moreover, miR-21 and miR-140 were negatively correlated with some INSSs, total TNSS score, and IL-10 and positively correlated with IFN-γ and IL-2 (p < 0.05).

conclusionLnc-GAS5 is negatively correlated with that of its targets (miR-21 and miR-140) in AR; meanwhile, lnc-GAS5, miR-21, and miR-140 are correlated with disease risk, symptom severity, and Th1/Th2 imbalance in AR, suggesting the potential of these biomarkers in the development and progression of AR.
