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

objectiveMyocardin is a cardiac- and smooth muscle-specific transcription co-factor that potently activates the expression of downstream target genes. Previously, we demonstrated that overexpression of myocardin inhibited the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Recently, myocardin was reported to induce the expression of microRNA-1 (miR-1) in cardiomyocytes. In this study, we investigated whether myocardin induces miR-1 expression to mediate its inhibitory effects on SMC proliferation. METHODS AND

resultsUsing tetracycline-regulated expression (T-REx) inducible system expressing myocardin in human vascular SMCs, we found that overexpression of myocardin resulted in significant induction of miR-1 expression and inhibition of SMC proliferation, which was reversed by miR-1 inhibitors. Consistently, introduction of miR-1 into SMCs inhibited their proliferation. We isolated spindle-shaped and epithelioid human SMCs and demonstrated that spindle-shaped SMCs were more differentiated and less proliferative. Correspondingly, spindle-shaped SMCs had significantly higher expression levels of both myocardin and miR-1 than epithelioid SMCs. We identified Pim-1, a serine/threonine kinase, as a target gene for miR-1 in SMCs. Western blot and luciferase reporter assays further confirmed that miR-1 targeted Pim-1 directly. Furthermore, neointimal lesions of mouse carotid arteries displayed downregulation of myocardin and miR-1 with upregulation of Pim-1.

conclusionsOur data demonstrate that miR-1 participates in myocardin-dependent of SMC proliferation inhibition.
