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

Muscle inflammation worsens metabolic disorders as well as devastating myopathies. The hormone adiponectin (ApN) has emerged has a master regulator of inflammation/immunity in several tissues including the skeletal muscle. In this work, we explore whether microRNAs regulated by ApN may represent novel mechanisms for controlling muscle inflammation. By screening arrays, we found miR-711 as a strong candidate for mediating ApN action. Thus, ApN-knockout mice showed decreased muscular expression of miR-711 together with enhanced inflammation/oxidative stress markers, while mice overexpressing ApN showed increased miR-711 levels. Likewise, electrotransfer of the ApN gene in muscle of ApN-knockout mice upregulated miR-711 while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Similar data were obtained in murine C2C12 cells or in human primary myotubes treated with ApN. MiR-711 overexpression downregulated several components of the Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) pathway, which led to repression of NF-κB activity and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. MiR-711 blockade had opposite effects. Moreover, muscle electrotransfer of pre-miR-711 recapitulated in vivo the anti-inflammatory effects observed in vitro. Thus, miR-711, which is upregulated by ApN represses TLR4 signaling, acting therefore as a major mediator of the anti-inflammatory action of ApN. This novel miRNA and its related target genes may open new therapeutic perspectives for controlling muscle inflammation.
