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

miR-122 is the most abundant microRNA (miRNA) in the liver; it regulates several genes mainly involved in cell metabolism and inflammation. Host factors, diet, metabolic disorders and viral infection promote the development of liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The downregulation of miR-122 in tissue is a common feature of the progression of liver injury. In addition, the release of miR-122 in the bloodstream seems to be very promising for the early diagnosis of both viral and non-viral liver disease. Although controversial data are available on the role of circulating miR-122 as a single biomarker, high diagnostic accuracy has been observed using miR-122 in combination with other circulating miRNAs and/or proteins. This review is focused on comprehensively summarizing the most recent literature on the potential role of circulating miR-122, and related molecules, as biomarker(s) of metabolic liver diseases, hepatitis and HCC.
