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

MicroRNAs, involved in a large variety of pathological conditions, tend to be potential specific biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, these short, non-coding RNAs, regulate post-transcriptional gene expression and protein synthesis, making them ideal for therapeutic targets. Down-regulation and up-regulation of specific microRNAs are currently studied as a novel approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as chronic and acute coronary syndromes, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and arrhythmia. MicroRNAs are interesting and attractive targets for cardiovascular-associated therapeutics because of their stability, tissue-specific expression pattern, and secretion of body fluids. Extended research on their isolation, detection, and function will provide the standardization needed for using microRNAs as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. This review will summarize recent data on the implication of microRNAs in cardiovascular diseases, their potential role as biomarkers for diagnosis, and also the challenges of using microRNAs as future therapeutic targets.
