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

introductionNumerous studies have identified various miRNAs involved in aortic aneurysm pathology. This study investigated circulating miRNAs before and after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (open surgical repair [OSR] or endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR]).

methodsIn this prospective, non-randomized, two-arm study, all eligible patients who underwent elective surgery from 2019 to 2021 for infrarenal aortic aneurysms were enrolled. Preoperative, postoperative (day 3), and follow-up serum samples (3 and 12 months) were collected. Circulating miR-29b/29c, miR-155, and miR-15a were analyzed using RT-qPCR.

resultsA total of 39 patients (87.2% male) were enrolled (Group I: OSR, n = 17; Group II: EVAR, n = 22). There were no significant differences in the expression of circulating miR-155, miR-15a, miR-29b, or miR-29c between Groups I and II during follow-up. However, subgroup analysis showed significantly lower expression of miR-15a in EVAR patients without an endoleak compared to those with an endoleak, as well as in patients undergoing open repair in the early postoperative phase (day 3).

conclusionOur study found no significant differences in the expression of miR-155, miR-15a, miR-29b, or miR-29c before and after aneurysm repair, regardless of the surgical approach. However, early postoperative expression of miR-15a was significantly lower in EVAR patients without an endoleak, suggesting a potential role for miR-15a in early aortic remodeling following EVAR.
