Circulating miR-489 as a potential new biomarker for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Article in Fujita medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesMicroRNAs (miRNA) are functional RNAs that have emerged as pivotal gene expression regulators in cardiac disease. Although several cardiomyocyte miRNAs have been reported to play roles in heart failure progression among patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the role of circulating miRNAs has not yet been well-examined.
methodsAfter total RNA extraction from the peripheral blood samples of three control participants and six patients with DCM, miRNA profiling was performed using miRNA arrays. Based on the results of this initial screening, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to perform a quantitative analysis of blood samples from a larger number of matched patients (DCM,
resultsA primary screening of 2,565 miRNAs resulted in the identification of nine miRNA candidates. Quantitative RT-PCR results revealed significantly increased miR-489 expression levels in the DCM group. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between miR-489 expression level and left ventricular ejection fraction.
conclusionsOur results suggest that circulating miR-489 could be a potential noninvasive diagnostic biomarker for DCM. Additionally, the quantification of circulating miR-489 may have value as a potential prognostic marker for patients with DCM.
