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 aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of microRNA (miR)-128 inhibition on the targeted activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) and on cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In vitro, the expression of PPARG was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) and HEK293 cells transfected with the mimics or inhibitors of miR‑128 or control RNA. Luciferase reporter assays were used to identify whether PPARG is a direct target of miR‑128. In vivo, miR‑128 was knocked down via ear vein injection of antagomir‑128 in a rabbit myocardial I/R injury model. Western blotting investigated the activation of Akt [phosphorylated (p)‑Akt] and the expression of total‑Akt, PPARG and myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein‑1 (Mcl‑1) in the myocardium. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was examined with transmission electron microscropy and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining. PPARG mRNA and protein were downregulated in NRVMs transfected with miR‑128 mimics, but upregulated by antagomir‑128 compared with control. This indicates that PPARG is a direct miR‑128 target. Activation of Akt (p‑Akt), Mcl‑1 and PPARG expression in the myocardium were increased by miR‑128 inhibition. Furthermore, miR‑128 antagomirs significantly reduced apoptosis in hearts subjected to I/R injury, which was blocked by the PPARG inhibitor GW9662. In conclusion, miR‑128 inhibition attenuated I/R injury‑induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by the targeted activation of PPARG signaling.
