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
backgroundThe 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a microdeletion syndrome with highly variable phenotypic manifestations, even though most patients present the typical 3 Mb microdeletion, usually affecting the same ~ 106 genes. One of the genes affected by this deletion is DGCR8, which plays a crucial role in miRNA biogenesis. Therefore, the haploinsufficiency of DGCR8 due to this microdeletion can alter the modulation of the expression of several miRNAs involved in a range of biological processes.
resultsIn this study, we used next-generation sequencing to evaluate the miRNAs profiles in the peripheral blood of 12 individuals with typical 22q11DS compared to 12 healthy matched controls. We used the DESeq2 package for differential gene expression analysis and the DIANA-miTED dataset to verify the expression of differentially expressed miRNAs in other tissues. We used miRWalk to predict the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs. Here, we described two differentially expressed miRNAs in patients compared to controls: hsa-miR-1304-3p, located outside the 22q11.2 region, upregulated in patients, and hsa-miR-185-5p, located in the 22q11.2 region, which showed downregulation. Expression of miR-185-5p is observed in tissues frequently affected in patients with 22q11DS, and previous studies have reported its downregulation in individuals with 22q11DS. hsa-miR-1304-3p has low expression in blood and, thus, needs more validation, though using a sensitive technology allowed us to identify differences in expression between patients and controls.
conclusionsThus, lower expression of miR-185-5p can be related to the 22q11.2 deletion and DGCR8 haploinsufficiency, leading to phenotypic consequences in 22q11.2DS patients, while higher expression of hsa-miR-1304-3p might be related to individual genomic variances due to the heterogeneous background of the Brazilian population.
