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

backgroundHeart failure poses a huge burden on the global population, and approximately 50% cases have reduced ejection fraction, namely, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The research was supposed to explore the relationship between serum hsa-miR-21-5p expression and the severity/prognosis of HFrEF.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 105 HFrEF patients and 86 healthy volunteers. RT-qPCR was used for the detection of serum hsa-miR-21-5p levels. Whether serum hsa-miR-21-5p expression correlated to cardiac function and hemodynamic indicators was evaluated using Spearman correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic and Kaplan-Meier analyses were implemented to evaluate the predictive significance of serum hsa-miR-21-5p for cardiovascular re-hospitalization and cardiovascular deaths in HFrEF patients. Independent risk factors for cardiovascular deaths were analyzed based on COX regression.

resultsHigher heart rate, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), left atrial diameter (LAD), systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), and hsa-miR-21-5p as well as lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were detected in the HFrEF patients than in the controls. Hsa-miR-21-5p expression increased in HFrEF patients with the increase of NYHA grade. Serum hsa-miR-21-5p expression in HFrEF patients was positively relevant to NT-pro-BNP, LAD, sPAP, PVR, and PCWP but negatively related to LVEF and LVFS. Serum hsa-miR-21-5p had a high predictive value for cardiovascular re-hospitalization and cardiovascular deaths in HFrEF patients. High hsa-miR-21-5p expression was an independent dangerous factor for cardiovascular deaths.

conclusionCollectively, hsa-miR-21-5p expression in HFrEF patients is correlated with disease severity and the risk of cardiovascular re-hospitalization and cardiovascular deaths in HFrEF patients, indicating a new direction for evaluating the disease situation and prognosis.
