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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the correlation of circulating microRNA (miRNA) expression profile with clinical response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.

methodsBaseline PBMC samples from eight responders and eight non-responders after 24-week TNF inhibitor (etanercept) treatment were subjected to miRNA microarray. Then, top 10 dysregulated miRNAs were selected and further validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in baseline PBMC samples from 92 RA patients treated with 24-week TNF inhibitor (etanercept). Responders and non-responders were divided referring to the decline in disease activity score in 28 joints.

resultsIn microarray assay, total 59 upregulated and 78 downregulated miRNAs were identified in responders compared to non-responders, which were mainly enriched in regulating immune- and inflammation-related biological processes and pathways. The top 10 dysregulated miRNAs were as follows: miR-192-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-19b-3p, miR-320c, miR-335-5p, miR-149-3p, miR-766-3p, let-7a-5p, miR-24-3p, and miR-1226-5p. In qPCR validation, miR-146a-5p was increased, while let-7a-5p was decreased in responders compared with non-responders. Multivariate logistic analysis illuminated that miR-146a-5p and CRP independently correlated with higher clinical response, while let-7a-5p and biologics history independently associated with lower clinical response. Subsequently, receiver operating characteristic curve showed that combination of these four independent factors presented with a great predictive value for clinical response with area under curve: 0.863, 95% CI 0.781-0.945.

conclusionmiRNA expression profile is closely implicated in the treatment efficacy of TNF inhibitor, and combined measurement of miR-146a-5p, let-7a-5p, CRP, and biologics history disclosed a great predictive value for clinical response to TNF inhibitor in RA patients.
