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.
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
backgroundThis study examined the effect of microRNA-125b (miR-125b) on sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction.
methodsMouse hearts were transfected with lentivirus expressing miR-125b (LmiR-125b) 7 days before cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis. Cardiac function was examined by echocardiography before and 6 hours after CLP (n = 6/group). Survival was monitored following CLP-induced sepsis (n = 12/group).
resultsLmiR-125b transfection significantly attenuated cardiac dysfunction due to CLP-induced sepsis. Fractional shortening and ejection fraction values were significantly (P < .05) higher in the LmiR-125b-treated CLP group than in the untreated CLP group. Survival outcome in LmiR-125b-transfected septic mice was markedly improved, compared with mice with CLP-induced sepsis. Transfection of LmiR-125b into the heart significantly suppressed the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, decreased the accumulation of macrophages and neutrophils in the myocardium, and decreased serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β by targeting tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-mediated nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation. In addition, sepsis-induced myocardial apoptosis was markedly attenuated by LmiR-125b transfection through suppression of p53, Bax, and Bak1 expression. In vitro transfection of endothelial cells with miR-125b mimics attenuate LPS-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression by suppressing TRAF6 and NF-κB activation.
conclusionsIncreased myocardial miR-125b expression attenuates sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction and improves survival. miR-125b may be a target for septic cardiomyopathy.
