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
Background: Specific and sensitive diagnostic biomarkers for unstable angina (UA) are currently scarce. The diagnosis of UA usually relies on medical history and physician experience. This study aimed to analyze the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) of UA patients, thus identifying potential diagnostic biomarkers of UA. Methods: This study is a prospective study and participants were recruited randomly. A total of 142 patients with UA, 8 with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and 8 with stable angina (SA) at Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated with Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to February 2022 were recruited. Fifty-eight healthy volunteers (HVs) were recruited to the control group during the same period. Differentially expressed miRNAs in serum exosomes of UA patients were first identified by high-throughput sequencing, followed by verification via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Our findings aim to explore their diagnostic potentials in UA, and their biological functions, as well as the correlation between conventional biochemical indexes of UA. Results: MiR-127, miR-150, and miR-145 were differentially expressed miRNAs in the serum EVs of 8 UA patients, 8 NSTEMI patients, 8 SA patients, and 8 HVs by high-throughput sequencing, which were downregulated in UA patients versus HVs. Moreover, the relative levels of differentially expressed miRNAs in the serum EVs of the remaining UA patients and HVs were measured by qRT-PCR. The area under the curve of miR-127, miR-150, and miR-145 in distinguishing UA patients from HVs was 0.872, 0.856, and 0.803, respectively. Notably, the area under the curve of the combination of the three differentially expressed miRNAs for diagnosing UA was 0.944. A GO analysis revealed that miR-127, miR-150, and miR-145 were mainly enriched in cell adhesion and migration, whereas KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that they were enriched in the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and Hippo signaling pathways. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified cardiac troponin I (cTnI) (P=0.0006), miR-127 (P=0.0001), miR-150 (P=0.0004), and miR-145 (P=0.0005) as independent risk factors for UA. Spearman's rank correlation test showed a significant correlation between cTnI and miR-127 (r=0.1988, P=0.0067). Conclusions: MiR-127, miR-150, and miR-145 in serum EVs are closely linked with UA and serve as novel diagnostic biomarkers.
