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

introductionmicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding 1RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Recent evidence shows that adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADAR) can edit miRNAs. miRNAs are involved in the development of different diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In IPF, about 40% of the miRNAs are differentially expressed with respect to controls. Among these miRNAs, miRNA-21 has been found over-expressed in IPF and its targets are anti-fibrosing molecules such as PELI1 and SPRY2. The objective of this study is to determine the role of ADAR1 and 2 on the expression of miRNA-21 in human lung fibroblasts trough quantification of gene expression, protein levels, and overexpression of ADAR1 and 2.

methodsSix control and six fibrotic primary fibroblast cell cultures were used for RNA extraction, ADAR1, ADAR2, PELI1, SPRY2, miRNA-21, and pri-miRNA-21 expression was measured. Subsequently, two fibrotic fibroblast cultures were used for overexpression of ADAR1 and ADAR2, and they were stimulated with TGFβ1. Real-time PCR and Western blot were performed.

resultsADAR1 is significantly downregulated in IPF fibroblasts; the overexpression of ADAR1 and ADAR2 reestablishes the expression levels of miRNA-21, PELI1, and SPRY2 in fibroblasts of patients with IPF.

conclusionThese changes in the processing of miRNAs have great value in pathology diagnosis, including lung diseases, and play an important role in the understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in the development of different pathologies, as well as representing new therapeutic targets.
