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

aimsThe present study examined the role of microRNA-125b (miR-125b) in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We constructed lentivirus-expressing miR-125b (LmiR-125b) and developed transgenic mice with overexpression of miR-125b. METHODS AND

resultsLmiR-125b was transfected into mouse hearts through the right common carotid artery. Lentivirus vector (LmiR-Con) served as vector control. Untreated mice served as I/R control. Sham operation served as sham control. Seven days after transfection, the hearts were subjected to ischaemia (45 min) followed by reperfusion (4 h). Myocardial infarct size was analysed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. In separate experiments, hearts were subjected to ischaemia (45 min) followed by reperfusion for up to 7 days. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography before, as well as 3 and 7 days after myocardial I/R. Increased expression of miR-125b significantly decreased I/R-induced myocardial infarct size by 60% and prevented I/R-induced decreases in ejection fraction (EF%) and fractional shortening (%FS). Transgenic mice with overexpression of miR-125b also showed the protection against myocardial I/R injury. Increased expression of miR-125b attenuated I/R-induced myocardial apoptosis and caspase-3/7 and -8 activities. Western blot showed that increased expression of miR-125b suppresses p53 and Bak1 expression in the myocardium. In addition, transfection of LmiR-125b decreased the levels of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and prevented I/R-induced NF-κB activation.

conclusionmiR-125 protects the myocardium from I/R injury by preventing p53-mediated apoptotic signalling and suppressing TRAF6-mediated NF-κB activation.
