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 expression of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 is associated with proliferation in tumors. In order to investigate whether H19 may additionally mediate the proliferation of fibroblasts in human keloid disease, the present study collected samples from 24 subjects, including 8 with keloids, 8 with normal scars and 8 normal skin controls. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that H19 levels were markedly increased in human keloids compared with normal scars and normal skin controls (P=0.017). In order to identify a potential role for H19 in the proliferative activity of human keloid fibroblasts, small interfering (si)RNA-mediated silencing experiments were performed. H19 siRNA treatment markedly inhibited the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts, as assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay (P=0.008). In order to identify the signaling mediators that are regulated by H19 in keloid fibroblasts, the expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were examined using western blotting. The results confirmed that knockdown of H19 inhibited mTOR and VEGF expression. In summary, the results indicate that H19 may be associated with increased proliferative activity of keloid fibroblasts, which may be mediated by mTOR and VEGF.
