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 (miRNAs), which are small noncoding RNAs involved in gene regulation that can be measured reliably in saliva, have emerged as promising biomarker candidates for identifying concussion. However, research thus far is limited, and the role of miRNAs in prognosis following concussion in adolescents remains largely unexplored. This case-cohort study investigated whether salivary miRNAs collected within 10 days of injury could identify concussed adolescents from age- and sex-matched, healthy, uninjured controls, and predict symptom burden at 3-weeks post injury. Saliva samples were collected from 58 concussed adolescents (mean age [SD] = 15.4 [1.6] years; 25 females) within 10 days of injury, and 35 age- and sex-matched, healthy, uninjured controls. Using a neurodegenerative panel of 798 miRNAs, we applied feature selection to identify miRNAs that best identified concussed from healthy, uninjured adolescents. Additional analysis investigated whether these miRNAs were able to predict concussion symptom burden 3-weeks post injury. Results indicated that two miRNAs were significantly upregulated in concussed participants: (1) hsa-miR-26a-5p (F = 8.2,
