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

Introduction: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by necrotizing small vessel vasculitis that frequently manifests as glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN). An accurate noninvasive biomarker reflecting active AAV-GN remains elusive. The knowledge of microRNAs (miRNAs), which have been considered as disease-specific biomarkers, is scarce and lacks validated data in AAV. Methods: This study validated a renal tissue expression profile of candidate miRNAs specific to AAV-GN selected through prior screening using independent cohorts. The analysis was extended to serum samples to explore the potential of a circulating miRNA panel as a noninvasive biomarker for active AAV-GN. To substantiate the findings, we correlated the molecular data with clinical and histologic markers of AAV-GN activity. Results: We identified Conclusion: Our findings highlight the potential of circulating miRNA expression signature as a noninvasive biomarker for ongoing AAV-GN in the appropriate setting. Larger confirmatory studies are essential to support the clinical application of miRNA-based biomarkers in AAV-GN diagnostics and disease monitoring.
