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

MicroRNAs, small noncoding RNA molecules, are pivotal regulators of gene expression and have been increasingly implicated in the molecular mechanisms underlying addiction. In this study, we investigated microRNA expression profiles in postmortem nucleus accumbens tissue, a key brain region for reward and addiction, from individuals with 6-monoacetylmorphine confirmed heroin-associated polysubstance intoxication (6-MAM-HAPI) (n = 20) compared with non-user individuals (n = 20). Total RNA was isolated from the tissues with "RNAzol®RT," and cDNA was obtained and measured by qRT-PCR. MicroRNA expression levels were calculated by the 2
