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

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the most prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide, has genetic, epigenetic, and environmental contributors. Among them, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have attracted considerable attention. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role of miR-103 in T2DM development. Methods: The miR-103 expression was evaluated in 33 participants with T2DM compared with 38 healthy controls using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-RT PCR). Fasting blood glucose (FBS), fasting insulin (Fin), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), and cholesterol (Chol) were also determined in serum. Basal insulin resistance and sensitivity were determined using the homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), respectively. Results: There was a significant decrease in miR-103 levels in patients with T2DM (p<0.002). Serum miR-103 expression levels showed a strong correlation with age, FBS, HbA1c, TG, Chol levels, and HOMA-IR and QUICKI indices. Conclusion: The downregulation of miR-103 in T2DM patients suggests the diagnostic potential of miR-103 evaluation in conjunction with other diagnostic approaches.
