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

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely suggested to bind with the microRNA (miRNA) sites and play roles of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which can thus affect and regulate target gene and mRNA expression. Such lncRNA-related ceRNAs are identified to exert vital parts in vascular disease. Nonetheless, it remains unknown about how the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network functions in the varicose great saphenous veins. Methods: This study acquired the lncRNA and mRNA expression patterns from the GEO database and identifies the differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs by adopting the R software "limma" package. Then, miRcode, miRDB, miRTarbase, and TargetScan were used to establish the miRNA-mRNA pairs and lncRNA-miRNA pairs. In addition, the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed by using Cytoscape. Protein-protein interaction, Gene Ontology functional annotations, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment were carried out to examine the candidate hub genes, the functions of genes, and the corresponding pathways. Results: In line with the preset theory, we constructed ceRNA network comprising 12 lncRNAs, 38 miRNAs, and 149 mRNAs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway played a vital part in the development of varicose great saphenous veins. AC114730, AC002127, and AC073342 were significant biomarkers. At the same time, we predicted the potential miRNA, which may exert a significant influence on the varicose great saphenous veins, namely, miR-17-5p, miR-129-5p, miR-1297, miR-20b-5p, and miR-33a-3p. Conclusion: By performing ceRNA network analysis, our study detects new lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, which can be applied as underlying biomarkers of varicose great saphenous veins and as therapeutic targets for the treatment of varicose great saphenous veins.
