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

introductionAge-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a predominant cause of blindness in the elderly. The present study is the first to investigate the alteration of lncRNAs and mRNAs in neovascular AMD.

methodsNine patients with neovascular AMD were included in the study. The control group comprised seven patients with epiretinal membranes. RNA sequencing was performed to obtain the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs). Then, the DElncRNADEmRNA co-expression network, ceRNA network, and immune-related ceRNA subnetwork were constructed. Functional annotation of DEmRNAs between the two groups and DEmRNAs in networks was conducted. The immune cell distribution in neovascular AMD was also evaluated. Realtime qPCR (RT-qPCR) was used to validate the expression levels of key markers.

resultsA total of 342 DEmRNAs and 157 DElncRNAs were obtained in neovascular AMD. Functional annotation indicated that these DEmRNAs significantly enriched immune systemrelated processes, such as positive regulation of B cell activation, immunoglobulin receptor binding, complement activation, and classical pathway. The DElncRNA-DEmRNA co-expression network, including 185 DElncRNA-DEmRNA co-expression pairs, and the ceRNA (DElncRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA) network, containing 45 lncRNA-miRNA pairs and 73 miRNAmRNA pairs, were constructed. The immune-related ceRNA subnetwork, including 2 lncRNAs, 5 miRNAs, and 3 mRNAs, was constructed. In addition, the distribution of immune cells was slightly different between the neovascular AMD group and the control group. RT-qPCR validation indicated the consistency between the RT-qPCR results and RNA sequencing results.

conclusionIn conclusion, STC1, S100A1, MEG3, MEG3-hsa-miR-608-S100A1, and MEG3- hsa-miR-130b-3p/hsa-miR-149-3p-STC1 may be related to the occurrence and development of neovascular AMD.
