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

Aberrant smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play important roles in the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Although the molecular mechanism of AAA formation has been investigated, there is a lack of understanding concerning the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in AAA, which the current study aimed to address. Firstly, miRNA array analysis was performed in order to compare the miRNA profiles in a mouse model of AAA with those in normal control mice, and differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. miR-129-5p was selected for further analysis, and was used to transfect human SMCs. The results of an MTT assay revealed that miR-129-5p inhibited the proliferation of SMCs, and flow cytometry indicated that apoptosis was induced. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that Wnt5a was the potential target gene of miR-129-5p, and this was verified by luciferase assay. In summary, miR-129-5p inhibits cellular proliferation, induces apoptosis and modulates the Wnt5a signaling pathway in SMCs.
