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.
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
backgroundObstructive myocardial infarction (MI) is well studied, whereas non-obstructive MI phenotypes, including myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), remain underexplored. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is increasingly implicated in the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction. Vascular shear stress can modulate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are the molecular mediators of its effects on the cell. Physiological shear stress maintains endothelial health, whereas ‘certain ranges’ disrupt ROS homeostasis and may cause ED. Further, some microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate cellular processes are shear-responsive. Here, we integrated shear stress, ROS, and miRNA regulation into a proposed mechanistic axis driving ED in MI. METHODS AND
resultsAn integrated bioinformatic and experimental study was used to identify shear stress-responsive, ROS-associated miRNAs with regulatory roles in MI. Publicly available MI patient datasets were analysed to identify differentially expressed shear stress-responsive miRNAs and their targets. Experimental validation was performed using EA. hy926 endothelial cells exposed to flow with shear rates 0.942, 1.57, 3.77, 9.42, and 14.13 s-¹. Analysis identified six differentially expressed miRNAs, shear stress-responsive and ROS-associated, targeting 31 upregulated mRNAs. Among them, hsa-miR-19a-3p and hsa-miR-155-5p were consistently downregulated. Network analysis revealed THBS1, SOCS1, SOCS3, and CEBPB as key miRNA targets linked to MI. Experimental validation confirmed shear-associated ROS generation, differential expression of hsa-miR-19a-3p and hsa-miR-155-5p, and their targets at the mRNA level.
conclusionTogether, these findings suggest a shear stress-ROS-miRNA regulatory axis in endothelial cells that is consistent with MI-associated transcriptional signatures and provides a mechanistic basis for future investigation of endothelial regulation in myocardial infarction.
