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

MiRNAs play crucial roles in abnormal proliferation and invasion of VSMCs. However, the roles and mechanisms of miRNAs in VSMCs are not fully understood. In our study, we demonstrated that PDGF-BB and serum induced proliferation of VSMCs led to the upregulation of miR-541. We also showed that overexpression of miR-541 promoted VSMC proliferation and invasion. In addition, Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) was found to be a potential target of miR-541 and upregulation of IRF7 could inhibit VSMC proliferation. Restored expression of miR-541 promoted IRF7-inhibited VSMCs proliferation. In conclusion, these findings suggest that inhibitors targeting miR-541 or its specific downstream molecules may be therapeutic strategy for VSMC growth-related diseases.
