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

Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding endogenous RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate some protein-coding genes. miRNAs play an important role in many cardiac pathophysiological processes, including myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure. miR-499, specifically expressed in skeletal muscle and cardiac cells, is differentially regulated and functions in heart development. However, the function of miR-499 in mature heart is poorly understood. Results We report that cardiac-abundant miR-499 could protect neonatal rat cardiomyocytes against H 2O 2-induced apoptosis. Increased miR-499 level favored survival, while decreased miR-499 level favored apoptosis. We identified three proapoptotic protein-coding genes-Pdcd4, Pacs2, and Dyrk2-as targets of miR-499. miR-499 inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis through its suppressive effect on Pdcd4 and Pacs2 expression, thereby blocking Bid expression and BID mitochondrial translocation. We also found that H 2O 2-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun transcriptionally upregulated miR-499 expression via binding of phosphorylated c-Jun to the Myh7b promoter. Conclusions Our results revealed that miR-499 played an inhibiting role in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, and had protective effects against H 2O 2-induced injury in cardiomyocytes.
