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

Previous studies have suggested that microRNA-107 (miR-107) regulates cell migration in tumor and promotes Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1α (HIF1α) regulated angiogenesis under hypoxia. We found that miR-107 was strongly expressed in ischemic boundary zone (IBZ) after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in rats and inhibition of miR-107 could reduce capillary density in the IBZ after stroke. Such finding led us to hypothesize that miR-107 might regulate post-stroke angiogenesis and therefore serve as a therapeutic target. We also found that antagomir-107, a synthetic miR-107 inhibitor, decreased the number of capillaries in IBZ and increased overall infarct volume after pMCAO in rats. We demonstrated that miR-107 could directly down-regulate Dicer-1, a gene that encodes an enzyme essential for processing microRNA (miRNA) precursors. This resulted in translational desupression of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) mRNA, thereby increasing expression of endothelial cell-derived VEGF (VEGF165/VEGF164), leading to angiogenesis after stroke. This process might be a protective mechanism for ischemia-induced cerebral injury and miR-107 might be used as a novel tool in stroke treatment.
