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

In this study, we aimed to identify potential microRNA (miRNA) regulators of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and to explore their roles in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). The expression of predicted miRNA regulators of ACE2 was examined in LPS-exposed pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs). Gain- and loss-of-function studies were performed to determine the functions of candidate miRNAs in LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and inflammatory response. The roles of the miRNAs in LPS-induced lung inflammation and permeability were investigated in a mouse model. Notably, LPS (1 μg/mL) significantly induced the expression of miR-1246 in PMVECs. ACE2 was validated as a target gene of miR-1246. Silencing of miR-1246 prevented LPS-induced inhibition of ACE2, which was accompanied by reduced apoptosis and production of IL-1β and TNF-α. In contrast, ectopic expression of miR-1246 triggered apoptosis in PMVECs and promoted IL-1β and TNF-α release. MiR-1246-mediated apoptosis of PMVECs was impaired by overexpression of ACE2. Depletion of miR-1246 attenuated lung inflammation, neutrophil infiltration, and vascular permeability and restored pulmonary expression of ACE2 in LPS-exposed mice. Taken together, miR-1246 meditates LPS-induced pulmonary endothelial cell apoptosis
