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

Atherosclerosis, a serious threat to human cardiovascular health, involves inflammation throughout its various stages of development. MicroRNAs play an important regulatory role in macrophages that respond to inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this work, we study the impact of miR-19a in macrophage-derived foam cell formation during atherogenesis. A microarray-based analysis of serums from patients with coronary heart disease in comparison with healthy controls reveals a significant enrichment of miR-19a in the serums of atherosclerosis patients. A higher level of miR-19a is also observed in atherosclerosis-prone ascending aortic wall tissues than in internal mammary artery amongst patients with coronary heart disease. We identify HMG-Box Transcription Factor 1 (HBP-1) as a target gene of miR-19a. HBP1 is repressor of macrophage migration inhibiting factor (MIF) and overexpression of miR-19a increases MIF expression. By administering a miR-19a antagonist to the caudal vein, we found a decrease in atherosclerotic plaques and lipids load in apoE-null mice fed with high-fat diet. These results support inhibition of miR-19a reduces inflammatory reaction and constitutes a potent therapeutic approach against atherosclerosis.
