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

This study evaluated the clinical significance of miR-567 in atherosclerosis and its regulatory effect on PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs, aiming to identify a novel biomarker for the risk and progression of atherosclerosis. The study enrolled 113 atherosclerosis patients and 126 non-atherosclerosis patients. Serum miR-567 level was compared between the two groups and its significance in disease severity was assessed. T/G human VSMC was induced with PDGF-BB, and based on this cell model, the regulatory effect and potential mechanism of miR-567 was estimated. miR-567 was upregulated in atherosclerosis patients and showed diagnostic significance (AUC = 0.875). miR-567 was positively correlated with homocysteine, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein, and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein (r > 0.7, P < 0.0001). miR-567 was upregulated in PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs, and silencing miR-567 showed protective effect on PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs. CSF1R was negatively correlated with miR-567. Silencing CSF1R reversed the protective effect of miR-567 silencing on PDGF-BB-induced VSMCs.
