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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the biological regulation of asthma and allergies.

objectiveWe sought to investigate the association between cord blood miRNAs and the development of allergic rhinitis and early childhood asthma.

methodsmiRNAs were sequenced from cord blood of subjects participating in the Vitamin D Antenatal Asthma Reduction Trial. Multivariable miRNA differential expression analyses were performed to examine their association with physician-diagnosed asthma and allergic rhinitis by age 3 years as well as active asthma status at age 6 years. miRNA signatures were further investigated for their ability to induce human airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro.

resultsIn a cohort of 389 subjects, elevated cord blood expression of miR-149-5p was associated with both allergic rhinitis and asthma at age 3 years (log

conclusionsThe dysregulation of cord blood miRNAs at birth is associated with allergic rhinitis and early childhood asthma. The miRNAs that regulate postembryonic development and immune response may serve as potential biomarkers and preventive targets for asthma.
