Molecular mechanisms in vascular injury induced by hypertension: Expression and role of microRNA-34a.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and function of microRNA (miR)-34a in patients with primary hypertension. The expression of miR-34a was measured in the peripheral blood of 50 patients with primary hypertension and 28 normal controls by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were transfected with an miR-34a inhibitor to suppress the expression of miR-34a, and the proliferation, migration and cell cycle distribution of HUVECs were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell and flow cytometry assays. The target of miR-34a was also predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and western blot analysis. miR-34a was significantly upregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with hypertension when compared with controls (P<0.05), and upregulation of miR-34a was associated with a higher clinical stage of hypertension (phase III; P<0.05).
