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

backgroundSevere pneumonia is a common disease in children, with rapid progression and easy complications of respiratory failure, endangering the lives of children. This study aimed to elucidate the clinical significance of miR-193a-5p in severe pneumonia and to provide a new biomarker for the disease.

methodsA total of 150 children with severe pneumonia and an equal number of healthy children were selected for analysis. Serum miR-193a-5p levels were detected by RT-qPCR. The correlation of miR-193a-5p with CRP, WBC, neutrophil count, and NLR was assessed by Spearman analysis. The diagnostic and prognostic value of miR-193a-5p in severe pneumonia was analyzed using ROC curves. The relationship between miR-193a-5p and the prognosis of severe pneumonia was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier curve and a multivariate logistic analysis.

resultsSerum levels of miR-193a-5p were markedly elevated in children with severe pneumonia and exhibited a positive correlation with CRP, WBC, neutrophil count, and NLR. miR-193a-5p could effectively distinguish children with severe pneumonia from healthy children, with an AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.862, 70.67%, and 88.67%, respectively. Serum miR-193a-5p expression was increased in children with poor prognosis and had a predictive value for patient prognosis. High expression of miR-193a-5p was linked to survival in children with severe pneumonia and was a risk factor for adverse prognosis.

conclusionSerum levels of miR-193a-5p were markedly elevated in children with severe pneumonia, which may be of significance for the early diagnosis of the disease and prognostic assessment.
