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

MicroRNAs participate in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes in various organs including the heart. Our previous work revealed that the level of miR-199a-5p was significantly higher in failing hearts than in control hearts. However, whether it is associated with the progression of heart failure (HF) and mediates cardiomyocyte apoptosis remained unclear. In the present study, we used various biochemical and molecular biological approaches to investigate the changes in miR-199a-5p levels in failing hearts in a rat model induced by acute myocardial infarction. We found that miR-199a-5p levels in the heart increased with the progression of HF, and overexpression of miR-199a-5p significantly increased apoptosis in untreated H9C2 cells and potentiated angiotensin II-induced apoptosis. Thus, our results indicate that miR-199a-5p is involved in the progression of HF and mediates cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We also confirmed that JunB, a member of the activator protein-1 transcription factor family, is one of direct targets of miR-199a-5p via a dual-luciferase reporter assay and mutagenesis on the 3' untranslated region of the JunB gene. Consistent with the above findings, overexpression of JunB in H9c2 cells suppressed cell apoptosis. Based on our findings, miR-199a-5p induces apoptosis by targeting JunB.
