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

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNA, are considered the essential connection between a disorder's onset and the environment, on a permissive genetic background. Among autoimmune and inflammatory-mediated disorders, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a chronic arthritis of the spine, is a very good example for the weight of epigenetics' contribution. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded nucleotides which regulate gene expression and are involved in pathological and physiological processes. In this manuscript we provide a clarification on the role of microRNAs in AS, with a focus on the mechanisms of pathogenesis. In specific, we have examined the contribution of miRNAs in the processes of inflammation, new bone formation and T-cell function, and the pathways (i.e. Wnt, BMP, TGFβ signalling etc.) they regulate. The utility of miRNAs in better understanding AS pathogenesis is undisputed and their utility as therapeutic opportunity is strongly increasing.
