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

The role of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) remains to be elucidated. This study investigated the expression of plasma miRNAs in patients with MRONJ compared to healthy individuals. 16 patients with MRONJ and 15 healthy controls participated in this case-control study, which was conducted in three consecutive phases. As a pilot study, miRNA profiling was performed using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qPCR) array plates targeting 754 miRNAs in a subset of plasma samples. In the subsequent phases, individual qPCR assays validated the array results using plasma samples from the full cohort (second phase) and plasma-derived exosomes (third phase). The qPCR arrays revealed differential miRNA profiles between the MRONJ and control groups. We selected miR-153-3p, miR-1180-3p, miR-483-5p, miR-511-5p, miR-628-3p, miR-486-5p, miR-92b-5p, miR-16-3p, miR-23a-3p, and miR-23a-5p for additional assays. The expression of miR-483-5p, miR-92-5p, and miR-486-5p was elevated in patients with MRONJ compared to controls, whereas miR-628-3p was downregulated (q < 0.01). All four miRNAs consistently exhibited differences in expression in plasma-derived exosomes between MRONJ patients and controls. We identified four miRNAs that could serve as potential biomarkers for MRONJ: miR-483-5p, miR-92-5p, miR-628-3p, and miR-486-5p. These biomarkers may reflect key pathways in MRONJ pathogenesis and could be used to guide patient risk stratification and future therapeutic interventions for MRONJ.
