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

objectiveThis study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the 27nt-miRNA-mediated regulation of expression of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene.

methodsCell lines overexpressing 27nt-miRNA or its mutant were established by transfecting the miRNA expression vector into the endothelial cells. eNOS mRNA and protein expression were examined by RT-PCR and Western Blotting, respectively. Luciferase activity reporter system was used to study the target of 27nt-miRNA.

resultsThe results showed that overexpression of 27nt-miRNA significantly inhibited eNOS mRNA level and protein expression, and reduced the eNOS transcriptional efficiency. Such inhibitory effects of 27nt-miRNA were attenuated by the sequence mutations in 27nt-miRNA. Interestingly, the transcription factor SP-1 expression was reduced by 27nt-miRNA. Meanwhile, overxpression of SP-1 protein partially restored eNOS expression, and rescued the 27nt-miRNA-mediated reduction of endothelial cell proliferation. Moreover, certain sites in the SP-1 mRNA were found to be the direct target of 27nt-miRNA by a luciferase reporter system.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that the 27nt-miRNA suppresses eNOS gene expression and SP-1 expression in vascular endothelial cells. The 27nt-miRNA directly target to SP-1 mRNA, thereby contributing to proliferation of endothelial cells.
