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
backgroundAberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the expression of lncRNA interferon γ-antisense 1 (IFNG-AS1), zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2 antisense RNA 1 (ZEB2-AS1), and their direct target genes (IFN-γ and ZEB2, respectively) in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) from CAD and healthy individuals. METHODS AND
resultsWe recruited 40 CAD patients and 40 healthy individuals. After doing some bioinformatics analyses, the expressions of IFNG-AS1/ ZEB2-AS1 lncRNAs and IFN-γ/ ZEB2 in PBMCs were measured using quantitative real-time PCR. The possible correlation between the putative lncRNAs and disease severity was also assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive role of lncRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers in CAD patients. The expressions of IFNG-AS1 lncRNA as well as IFN-γ and ZEB2 genes were significantly reduced in CAD patients compared to healthy subjects. In contrast, the expression of ZEB2-AS1 was up-regulated in these patients. Linear regression analysis unveiled that there is a positive correlation between the expression of IFNG-AS1 and IFN-γ, also similarly, ZEB2-AS1 and ZEB2 in PBMCs of subjects. Moreover, the expression of IFNG-AS1 and ZEB2-AS1 correlated with the Gensini score. The area under the ROC curves ranged from 0.633-0.742 for ZEB2-AS1/ZEB2 and IFNG-AS1/IFN-γ, respectively.
conclusionsOur results indicated that the dysregulation of IFNG-AS1/IFN-γ and ZEB2-AS1/ZEB2 in PBMCs of CAD patients may be involved in CAD pathogenesis.
