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

Objective: To Study the Correlations of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and microRNA-146a (miR-146a) Expression in Peripheral Blood of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), and Explore the Clinical Value of miR-155 and miR-146a in the Diagnosis and Treatment Outcomes of DPN. Methods: The study included 51 T2DM patients without DPN (T2DM group), 49 T2DM patients with DPN (DPN group), and 50 normal controls (NC group). Quantitative real-time PCR was utilized to determine the expression levels of miR-155 and miR-146a. Clinical features and risk factors for DPN were assessed. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was conducted to confirm whether the expressions of miR-155 and miR-146a could independently predict the risk of DPN. ROC curve analysis evaluated their diagnostic value. Results: The T2DM group exhibited significantly lower expression levels of miR-155 and miR-146a compared to the NC group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the DPN group exhibited a significantly decreased expression level of miR-155 and miR-146a compared to the T2DM group (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that higher levels of miR-155 and miR-146a might serve as protective factors against DPN development. ROC curve analysis revealed that miR-155 (sensitivity 91.8%, specificity 37.3%, AUC 0.641,) and miR-146a (sensitivity 57.1%, specificity 84.3%, AUC 0.722) possess a strong ability to discriminate between T2DM and DPN. Their combined use further enhanced the diagnostic potential of DPN (sensitivity 83.7%, specificity 60.8%, AUC 0.775). A multi-index combination can improve DPN diagnostic efficiency. Conclusion: The decreased expression of miR-155 and miR-146a in the peripheral blood of T2DM patients is closely related to the occurrence of DPN, highlighting their potential as valuable biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosticating DPN.
