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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of short RNA molecules, which negatively regulate gene expression. The levels of circulating miR-15 family members are elevated in septic patients and may be associated with septic death. This study investigated whether inhibition of miR-195, a member of the miR-15 family, provided beneficial effects in sepsis. METHODS AND

resultsSepsis was induced by injection of feces into the peritoneum in mice. miR-195 was upregulated in the lung and liver of septic mice. Silencing of miR-195 increased the protein levels of BCL-2, Sirt1, and Pim-1; prevented apoptosis; reduced liver and lung injury; and improved the survival in septic mice. Silencing of miR-195 provided similar protection in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemic mice. In endothelial cells, upregulation of miR-195 induced apoptosis, and inhibition of miR-195 prevented lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis. miR-195 repressed expression of its protein targets, BCL-2, Sirt1, and Pim-1. Furthermore, overexpression of Pim-1 prevented apoptosis induced by lipopolysaccharide and miR-195 mimic. Inhibition of Pim-1 attenuated the protective effects of miR-195 silencing in septic mice.

conclusionsSilencing of miR-195 reduced multiple-organ injury and improved the survival in sepsis, and the protective effects of miR-195 inhibition were associated with upregulation of Bcl-2, Sirt1, and Pim-1. Thus, inhibition of miR-195 may represent a new therapeutic approach for sepsis.
