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 mechanism of miR-30a in myocardial fibrosis in rats with myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated. rAAV9-miR-30a was constructed and transfected to heart via injecting into the left ventricular cavity of MI rats. The sham operation group, control group, miR-30a group and miR-30a-NC group were established. Besides, the 3'-UTR of CTGF was inserted into luciferase expression plasmid (pMir-report), then transfected into COS1 cells. miR-30a and control miRNA were, respectively, cotransfected into COS1 cells. The expression of luciferase was detected before and after knockdown of the binding site of miR-30a and the 3'-UTR of CTGF. Four weeks after MI surgery, cardiac function was measured by color Doppler echocardiography, including short axis shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF); the myocardial collagen volume fraction (CVF) was observed by Masson's staining; deposition of collagen I and collagen III were evaluated by immunohistochemical stain; using real-time PCR to detect expression levels of miR-30a and CTGF; the expression of CTGF was observed by western blotting. In MI group, cardiac function was significantly improved, while the expression levels of CVF, collagen I and III, the ratio of type I/III collagen, CTGF were significantly reduced. After knockdown the binding site of miR-30a and the 3'-UTR of CTGF, luciferase expression in COS1 cells decreased significantly. miR-30a might inhibit the expression of CTGF by directly combining with the 3'-UTR site of CTGF after MI, thereby reduce the production of collagen in myocardia, inhibit myocardial fibrosis, then improve cardiac function.
