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

Endothelial cells (ECs) apoptosis induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is thought to play an essential role in atherosclerosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs, acting as posttranscriptional regulators of protein-coding genes involved in vascular cell biology. MiRNA-221 and miRNA-222 (miR-221/222) are known to be involved in the regulation of endothelial inflammation and angiogenesis. However, the function of miR-221/222 in ox-LDL-induced ECs apoptosis and atherosclerosis is still unknown. Here, we showed that miR-221/222 expression was markedly down-regulated in ox-LDL-induced apoptotic human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells. MiR-221/222 inhibition enhanced apoptosis in ECs, whereas over-expression of miR-221/222 could partly alleviate apoptotic cell death mediated by ox-LDL through suppression of Ets-1 and its downstream target p21. These findings suggest that manipulation of the miR-221/222-Ets-1-p21 pathway may offer a novel strategy for treatment of endothelial apoptosis and atherosclerosis.
