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

The proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) are the main pathological characteristics of cardiac fibrosis. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be a new kind of regulator in cardiac fibrosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of microRNA-9 (miR-9) in the process of cardiac fibrosis and its mechanism. Treatment of cultured neonatal rat CFs with PDGF-BB or serum suppressed the expression of miR-9. Overexpression of miR-9 obviously inhibited neonatal rat CFs proliferation and collagen production as detected by MTT assays, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. The effects of miR-9 in CFs were abrogated by co-transfection with miR-9 inhibitors. Overexpression of miR-9 reduced the mRNA and protein levels of PDGFR-βand its downstream protein, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. Silencing PDGFR-βby small interfering RNA mimicked the anti-fibrotic action of miR-9, whereas overexpression of PGDFR-β canceled the effect of miR-9 in cultured CFs. Dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that PDGFR-βwas a direct target of miR-9. Overexpression of miR-9 inhibited cardiac fibrosis by targeting PDGFR-β, indicating that miR-9 might play a role in the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.
