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

Growing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important mediators of brain development and neurite growth. However, the affected signaling mechanisms are not clearly clarified. In the present study, we confirm that miR-29c is expressed during mice brain development and increases neurite outgrowth via decreasing PTEN expression. We first screen the picked-out miR-29c up-regulated in PC12 cells induced by nerve growth factor (NGF). In silico analysis of possible miR-29c targets, VEGFA, MAPK3, PDGFB, and PTEN mRNA are proposed as relatively likely putative binding sites for miR-29c. Subsequently, we detect that miR-29c is involved in brain development and has a negative relationship with the expression of PTEN. Then, using luciferase reporter assay,we demonstrate that miR-29c could directly target to the 3'-UTR of PTEN mRNA and result in down-expression of PTEN. By infecting PC12 cells with lentiviral pLKO-miR-29c or control, we also find that increasing levels of miR-29c markedly increase Akt phosphorylation level, and thus, promote neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells. Together, our results identify that miR-29c is required for mice brain development and modulates neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells via targeting PTEN and has a promising therapeutic target for neural disease.
