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

After peripheral nerve injury, the degenerative debris and inflammatory alterations at the injury site may block the elongation of regenerating axons to reach target organs. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), a serine protease, has a capability of degrading matrix molecules and cell adhesions. In this study, we found that either tPA or miR-340 was differentially expressed in the injured nerve after sciatic nerve injury, and that the expressions of tPA and miR-340 were negatively correlated to each other. Moreover, miR-340 and tPA were co-localized in sciatic nerve. miR-340 regulated tPA through direct targeting of the 3'-UTR of tPA. Functionally, over- or under-expression of miR-340 reduced or augmented the fibrinolytic activity and migration ability of cultured Schwann cells as well as tPA secretion from the cells, respectively. In rats with sciatic nerve crush injury, dysregulation of the miR-340 expression in the injury site affected the cell debris removal and axonal regrowth. Obviously, unlike many previous studies that investigate the functional impact of miRNAs on peripheral nerve regeneration in the perspective of miRNA regulation of neural cell behaviors, the present study focused on miRNA regulation of debris clearance, thus updating our understanding of the regulatory roles of miRNAs in peripheral nerve regeneration.
