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

TUG1 is an lncRNA that plays a critical role in kidney injury. Our preliminary sequencing analysis showed altered TUG1 expression in both congestive heart failure (CHF) patients and CHF patients complicated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We then studied the role of TUG1 in these two diseases. We enrolled 120 CHF patients without obvious complications, 60 CHF patients complicated with CKD, and 60 healthy volunteers. TUG1 expression in plasma samples from these participants was determined using RT-qPCR. The diagnostic value of TUG1 for CKD development in CHF patients was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. A 2-year follow-up was performed to detect the correlation between TUG1 expression levels and the development of CKD in CHF. TUG1 was lowly expressed in CHF patients and was further downregulated in CHF patients complicated with progressive CKD. ROC curve analysis showed that plasma TUG1 expression levels could be used to distinguish CHF patients complicated with CKD from CHF patients without CKD and healthy controls. During the 2-year follow-up, high CHF expression levels predicted a low incidence of progressive CKD among CHF patients. With the treatment of progressive CHF + CKD, plasma TUG1 was upregulated. LncRNA-TUG1 downregulation may develop the progressive CKD among patients with CHF.
