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

aimThe aim of the study was to investigate whether miR-126, a regulator of MAPK signaling via targeting sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 ( MATERIALS AND

methodsPrimary hCECs were isolated and divided into three groups, normal control, diabetes mellitus (DM), and DM treated with ICA II. The cell proliferation and migration abilities of the hCECs were examined. The expression levels of endothelial-related microRNAs and relative target mRNAs (

resultshCECs induced with glucose plus advanced glycation end product-BSA showed a significant decrease in endothelial nitric oxide synthase, Ki-67, and miR-126 expression; a downregulated cell migration ability and an increased receptor for advanced glycation end products level. ICA II could partially reverse these changes.

conclusionICA II could ameliorate endothelial dysfunction by regulating the MAPK pathway via miR-126/SPRED1 in hCECs exposed to a diabetic-like environment, and ICA II might be a protective agent for endothelial function in diabetic ED.
