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

Purpose: We sought to reveal the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the vitreous humor of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: Vitreous humor samples were obtained from PDR patients and a control group for this study. Sequencing of small RNAs was conducted to assess the expression profiles of tsRNAs and miRNAs in both groups, which was followed by validation using reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to predict the target genes and their potential biological functions and signaling pathways. Results: A total of 37 tsRNAs and 70 miRNAs with significant differences were screened out from the vitreous humor samples of PDR patients compared to controls. Following validation by RT-qPCR, the target genes of the validated tsRNAs and miRNAs were predicted, and Gene Ontology analysis indicated that the target genes of the tsRNAs were most enriched in the cellular macromolecule metabolic process, cytoplasm, and ion-binding, while those of the miRNAs were most abundant in the regulation of major metabolic process, cytoplasm, and protein-binding. In addition, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that the target genes of said tsRNAs and miRNAs were most enriched in the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and Th17 cell differentiation, respectively. Conclusions: The present study identified altered tsRNAs and miRNAs in vitreous humor samples of PDR patients, which may play important roles in the pathogenesis of PDR and could be considered potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of PDR.
