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-24 (miR-24) serves an important role in cell proliferation, migration and inflammation in various types of disease. In the present study, the biological function and molecular mechanism of miR‑24 was investigated in association with the progression of age‑associated cataracts. To the best of our knowledge the present study is the first to report that the expression of miR‑24 was significantly increased in human anterior lens capsules affected by age‑associated cataracts as well as lens epithelial cells (LECs) exposed to oxidative stress. Overexpression of miR‑24 induced p53 expression and p53 was verified as a direct target of miR‑24. Overexpression of miR‑24 enhanced LEC death by directly targeting p53. The present study revealed that oxidative stress induced the upregulation of miR‑24 and enhanced LEC death by directly targeting p53. These results suggest that the miR‑24‑p53 signaling pathway is involved in a novel mechanism of age‑associated cataractogenesis and miR‑24 may be a useful therapeutic target for age-associated cataracts.
