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

MicroRNA (miRNA/miR) dysregulation has been reported to be fundamental in the development and progression of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. In the present study, miR-327 levels in fibroblasts were increased in response to cardiac hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction with prominent cardiac fibrosis, particularly when compared with the levels in unstressed cardiomyocytes. In neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts, induced expression of miR-327 upregulated fibrosis-associated gene expression and activated angiotensin II-induced differentiation into myofibroblasts, as assessed via α-smooth muscle actin staining. By contrast, miR-327 knockdown mitigated angiotensin II-induced differentiation. Cardiac fibroblast proliferation was not affected under either condition. In a mouse model subjected to transverse aortic constriction, miR-327 knockdown through tail-vein injection reduced the development of cardiac fibrosis and ventricular dysfunction. miR-327 was demonstrated to target integrin β3 and diminish the activation of cardiac fibroblasts. Thus, the present study supports the use of miR-327 as a therapeutic target in the reduction of cardiac fibrosis.
