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

During normal lung development and in lung diseases structural cells in the lungs adapt to permit changes in lung function. Fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, smooth muscle, epithelial cells, and various progenitor cells can all undergo phenotypic modulation. In the pulmonary vasculature occlusive vascular lesions that occur in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension are multifocal, polyclonal lesions containing cells presumed to have undergone phenotypic transition resulting in altered proliferation, cell lifespan or contractility. Dynamic changes in gene expression and protein composition that underlie processes responsible for such cellular plasticity are not fully defined. Advances in molecular biology have shown that multiple classes of ribonucleic acid (RNA) collaborate to establish the set of proteins expressed in a cell. Both coding Messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and small noncoding RNAs (miRNA) act via multiple parallel signaling pathways to regulate transcription, mRNA processing, mRNA stability, translation and possibly protein lifespan. Rapid progress has been made in describing dynamic features of miRNA expression and miRNA function in some vascular tissues. However posttranscriptional gene silencing by microRNA-mediated mRNA degradation and translational blockade is not as well defined in the pulmonary vasculature. Recent progress in defining miRNAs that modulate vascular cell phenotypes is reviewed to illustrate both functional and therapeutic significance of small noncoding RNAs in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
