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

Blood flow at arterial bifurcations and curvatures is naturally disturbed. Endothelial cells (ECs) fail to adapt to disturbed flow, which transcriptionally direct ECs toward a maladapted phenotype, characterized by chronic regeneration of injured ECs. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate EC maladaptation through targeting of protein-coding RNAs. However, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), known epigenetic regulators of biological processes, can also be miRNA targets, but their contribution on EC maladaptation is unclear. Here we show that hyperlipidemia- and oxLDL-induced upregulation of miR-103 inhibits EC proliferation and promotes endothelial DNA damage through targeting of novel lncWDR59. MiR-103 impedes lncWDR59 interaction with Notch1-inhibitor Numb, therefore affecting Notch1-induced EC proliferation. Moreover, miR-103 increases the susceptibility of proliferating ECs to oxLDL-induced mitotic aberrations, characterized by an increased micronucleic formation and DNA damage accumulation, by affecting Notch1-related β-catenin co-activation. Collectively, these data indicate that miR-103 programs ECs toward a maladapted phenotype through targeting of lncWDR59, which may promote atherosclerosis.
