Circulating MicroRNAs as Specific Biomarkers in Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Non-coding RNA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently occurring supraventricular arrhythmia. Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have been associated with AF pathogenesis, standard protocols for quantifying and selecting specific miRNAs for clinical use as biomarkers should be optimized. In this study, we evaluated the clinical application of miRNAs as biomarkers for the prognosis and diagnosis of AF. Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE. We included prospective or retrospective observational studies that had been published as of 14 February 2022; our main objective was to analyze the relationship between circulating miRNAs and AF. The data were extracted using the descriptors "Atrial fibrillation AND miRNA", "Atrial fibrillation AND diagnostic AND miRNA", and "Atrial fibrillation AND prognosis AND miRNA". No filters were applied for period delimitation, type of publication, or language. Studies using samples isolated from blood plasma and TaqMan and RT-qPCR for detecting and quantifying miRNAs were selected, and those that used atrial tissue samples were excluded. We identified 272 articles and excluded 102 duplicated articles. Two authors independently read the titles and abstracts of 170 out of 272 articles and selected 56 potential articles, 6 of which were selected for final review. Our analysis revealed a significant association between AF and miR-4798 [OR = 1.90 (95% CI 1.45-2.47)], AF and miRNA-133a [2.77 (2.73-2.82)], AF and miRNA-150 [3.77 (1.50-9.46); I
