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

Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a pathological phenomenon that occurs during the process of long-term damage and repair in the liver. This condition will lead to the development of cirrhosis and even liver cancer if untreated. Previous evidence has shown that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), carrying microRNAs (miRs), can affect the pathogenesis of HF. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify novel exosomal miRs derived from MSCs that play a critical role in the progression of HF. Next, the expression data of differentially expressed miRs (DEMs) of patients with liver cirrhosis and healthy controls were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. DEMs were analyzed using Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Moreover, to further confirm the function of exosomal miR-618 derived from MSCs on the pathogenesis of HF
