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

MiRNAs contribute greatly to epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs), which is a crucial step in peritoneal fibrosis (PF). In this study, we tried to profile whether miRNA expression differences exist after human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) treatment in PF rats and investigate the possible role of miR-153-3p involved in anti-EMT process. We randomly assigned 34 rats into three groups: control group (Group Control), MGO-induced PF rats (Group MGO) and hUCMSCs-treated rats (Group MGO + hUCMSCs). MiRNA microarrays and real-time PCR analyses were conducted in three groups. α-SMA, Snail1 and E-cadherin expression were detected by Western blot. Luciferase reporter assays were used to detect the effects of miR-153-3p overexpression on Snai1 in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs). We identified differentially expressed miRNAs related to EMT, in which miR-153-3p demonstrated the greatest increase in Group MGO + hUCMSCs. Transient cotransfection of miR-153-3p mimics with luciferase expression plasmids resulted in a significant repression of Snai1 3'-untranslated region luciferase activity in RPMCs. These studies suggest that miR-153-3p is a critical molecule in anti-EMT effects of hUCMSCs in MGO-induced PF rats. MiR-153-3p might exert its beneficial effect through directly targeting Snai1.
