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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, noncoding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for cleavage or translational repression. Growing evidence indicates that miR-155 expression changes with the development of heart and plays an important role in heart physiopathology. However, the role of miR-155 in cardiac cells differentiation is unclear. Using the well-established embryonic stem cell (ESC), we demonstrated that miR-155-3p expression was down-regulated during cardiogenesis from mouse ESC. By contrast, the myogenic enhance factor 2C (MEF2C), a predicted target gene of miR-155-3p, was up-regulated. We further demonstrated that miR-155-3p inhibition increased the percentage of embryoid bodies (EB) beating and up-regulated the expression of cardiac specific markers, GATA4, Nkx2.5, and cTnT mRNA and protein. Notably, miR-155-3p inhibition caused upregulation of MEF2C, KRAS and ERK1/2. ERK1/2 inhibitor, PD98059 significantly decreased the expression of MEF2C protein. These findings indicate that miR-155-3p inhibition promotes cardiogenesis, and its mechanisms are involved in the RAS-ERK1/2 signaling and MEF2C.
