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

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play pivotal roles in the development of vascular diseases. While microRNAs are important in vascular pathologies, a few is known about their functional roles in VSMC phenotypes. We profiled microRNA expression in PDGF-BB treated VSMCs and found microRNA-146b-5p (miR-146b-5p) was upregulated. Inhibition of miR-146b-5p blocked in response to PDGF while reducing VSMC proliferation and migration. These studies implicate miR-146b-5p as necessary for PDGF-induced VSMC phenotype transition. Downstream miR-146b-5p targets modulating VSMC phenotypes will be further identified. Our study will help to understand the role of VSMCs in the pathology of vascular diseases.
