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

Mortality from ischemic heart disease (IHD) is significantly lower in Japan than in Western countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in circulating microRNA (miRNA) levels related to IHD in Austrians and Japanese. Participants were middle-aged healthy male Austrians (n = 20) and Japanese (n = 20). Total miRNAs in serum from each participant were analyzed using the 3D-Gene miRNA Oligo chip. Twenty-one miRNAs, previously reported as associated with IHD, were compared between Austrians and Japanese. The expression levels of miR-106a-5p, miR-135a-3p, miR-150-3p, miR-16-5p, miR-17-5p. miR-191-5p, miR-320b, miR-451a, miR-486-5p, miR-663b, and miR-92a-3p were significantly higher, while the miR-2861 expression level was significantly lower in Austrians as compared to Japanese. Both in Austrians and Japanese, there were significant positive correlations between serum expression levels of each pair of the above miRNAs except for miR-2861. The expression level of miR-2861 showed significant positive correlations with the expression levels of miR-106a-5p, miR-150-3p, miR-17-5p, miR-486-5p, miR-663b and miR-92a-3p in Austrians but not in Japanese. In pathway analysis, proinflammatory cytokine production in foam cells and collagen synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells were associated with differentially expressed miRNAs. Difference in miRNA levels may contribute to lower cardiovascular risk in Japan than in Western countries.
