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

The aim of the present study was to measure the expression of microRNA (miRNA)-506-3p in the peripheral blood of patients with hypertension and to determine the biological functions and mechanisms of action of miR-506-3p. A total of 61 patients with primary hypertension were included in the present study. Peripheral blood was collected from all patients, as well as 31 healthy subjects who were included in a control group. The expression of miR-506-3p in peripheral blood was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were transfected with miR-506-3p mimics or miR-506-3p inhibitor. The proliferation and migration of HUVECs were determined using cell-counting kit 8 and Transwell assays, respectively. The cell cycle and apoptosis of HUVECs were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of Beclin1 (BECN1) protein, a potential target of miR-506-3p, was measured using western blotting. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the interaction between BECN1 and miR-506-3p. It was demonstrated that miR-506-3p expression in the peripheral blood of patients with patients was upregulated and dependent on the severity of hypertension. miR-506-3p overexpression inhibited the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. In addition, miR-506-3p inhibited the transition from the G1 phase to the S-phase in HUVECs. Overexpression of miR-506-3p promoted the apoptosis of HUVECs. Notably, miR-506-3p downregulated the expression of BECN1 by directly binding to its 3'-untranslated region. The present study demonstrated that miR-506-3p expression is elevated in the peripheral blood of patients with hypertension and is associated with the severity of hypertension. By downregulating BECN1 expression, miR-506-3p aggravates injury in vascular endothelial cells by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of HUVECs, as well as promoting their apoptosis.
