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

Advances in studies of microRNA (miRNA) expression and function in smooth muscles illustrate important effects of small noncoding RNAs on cell proliferation, hypertrophy and differentiation. An emerging theme in miRNA research in a variety of cell types including smooth muscles is that miRNAs regulate protein expression networks to fine tune phenotype. Some widely expressed miRNAs have been described in smooth muscles that regulate important processes in many cell types, such as miR-21 control of proliferation and cell survival. Other miRNAs that are prominent regulators of smooth muscle-restricted gene expression also have targets that control pluripotent cell differentiation. The miR-143~145 cluster which targets myocardin and Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is arguably the best-described miRNA family in smooth muscles with profound effects on gene expression networks that promote serum response factor (SRF)-dependent contractile and cytoskeletal protein expression and the mature contractile phenotype. Kruppel-family members KLF4 and KLF5 have multiple effects on cell differentiation and are targets for multiple miRNAs in smooth muscles (miR-145, miR-146a, miR-25). The feedback and feedforward loops being defined appear to contribute significantly to vascular and airway remodeling in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. RNA interference approaches applied to animal models of vascular and respiratory diseases prove that miRNAs and RNA-induced silencing are valid targets for novel anti-remodeling therapies that alter pathological smooth muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy.
