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

MicroRNA (miR)‑142‑5p is a member of the miR‑142 family, which have been shown to be associated with tumors, stem cells and disorders of the immune system. However, the role of miR‑142‑5p in atherosclerosis has yet to be investigated. In the present study, an atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E‑deficient (apoE‑/‑) mouse model was constructed and fed a high‑fat diet. The expression levels of miR‑142‑5p in the murine atherosclerotic plaques were detected by gene microarray analysis. In addition, an in vitro assay was used to determine the expression levels of miR‑142‑5p in human endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages, which were treated with oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (ox‑LDL). Furthermore, a miR‑142‑5p inhibitor and mimic was transfected into cultured human macrophages, in order to observe the effects on transforming growth factor‑β2 (TGF‑β2) expression. The effects of co‑transfection of the miR‑142‑5p inhibitor or mimic with TGF‑β2, in human macrophages, on the rate of apoptosis was analyzed. The expression levels of miR‑142‑5p were 6.84‑fold higher in mice with stable atherosclerotic plaques, and 2.69‑fold higher in mice with vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, as compared with the controls. Furthermore, the expression levels of miR‑142‑5p were upregulated in the cultured human macrophages. The percentage of apoptotic cells was lowest in the macrophages transfected with both TGF‑β2 and miR‑142‑5p inhibitors and treated with ox‑LDL. The expression levels of miR‑142‑5p were upregulated in the atherosclerotic plaques of the apoE‑/‑ mice. The findings of the present study have shown that the upregulation of miR‑142‑5p expression may regulate apoptosis in human macrophages by targeting TGF‑β2. This effect may have an important role in the progression of atherosclerosis.
