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

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through participating in joint tissue inflammation and joint damage. MicroRNAs are a kind of small non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression in the transcription level to affect cell behaviors. This study intended to investigate the expression of miR-19 in FLS from RA patients and related mechanism. A total of 126 RA patients were selected in this study. MiR-19 expression in FLS was detected by qRT-PCR. Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) protein expression was tested by Western blot. MiR-19 target genes were confirmed by bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. The impact of miR-19 on the expression of TLR2, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) in FLS were analyzed by cell transfection and Western blot. MiR-19 expression in FLS from RA patients was significantly downregulated compared with control (P < 0.05), while TLR2 level was increased (P < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay confirmed that TLR2 was the target gene of miR-19. Transfection of miR-19 mimic or miR-19 inhibitor obviously suppressed or increased TLR2 expression, and reduced or promoted release of cytokines IL-6 and MMP-3 in FLS, respectively. In conclusion, MiR-19 expression was downregulated in FLS from RA patients, leading to increased TLR2 expression and enhanced cytokines release.
