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.

Abstract

backgroundUnderstanding the regulatory interplay of relevant microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the rejecting allograft will result in a better understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of alloimmune injury.

methodsOne hundred sixty-seven allograft biopsies, with (n = 47) and without (n = 120) central histology for Banff scored acute rejection (AR), were transcriptionally profiled for mRNA and miRNA by whole genome microarrays and multiplexed microfluidic quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively. A customized database was curated (GO-Elite) and used to identify AR-specific dysregulated mRNAs and the role of perturbations of their relevant miRNAs targets during AR.

resultsThe AR-specific changes in 1035 specific mRNAs were mirrored by AR-specific perturbations in 9 relevant miRNAs as predicted by Go-Elite and were regulated specifically by p53 and forkhead box P3. Infiltrating lymphocytes and the renal tubules drove the miRNA tissue pertubations in rejection, involving message degradation and transcriptional/translational activation. The expression of many of these miRNAs significantly associated with the intensity of the Banff-scored interstitial inflammation and tubulitis.

conclusionsThere is a highly regulated interplay between specific mRNA/miRNAs in allograft rejection that drive both immune-mediated injury and tissue repair during AR.
