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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to commonly contribute to cardiac hypertrophy (CH). The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that miR-200c plays an important role in the progression of CH by targeting myosin light chain kinase (MLCK/MYLK). METHODS AND

resultsCardiac hypertrophy was induced by aortic banding (AB) in rats. Cellular hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NCMs) was induced by AngII treatment. Echocardiography, histology and molecular measurements were used to assess the results of the experiments. The levels of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also measured. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to measure mRNA and protein levels respectively. The present results showed that miR-200c expression was increased in response to CH both in vivo and in vitro. The down-regulation of miRNA-200c by a specific inhibitor markedly ameliorated CH resulting from AngII treatment, and the mRNA levels of atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide and β-myosin heavy chain were simultaneously decreased. Notably, minimal apoptosis and ROS accumulation were identified in AngII-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. Conversely, the up-regulation of miR-200c using specific mimics reversed these effects. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that the MLCK gene is a direct target of miR-200c; an increase in miR-200c levels led to a decrease in the expression of MLCK and its downstream effector, p-MLC2, while miR-200c inhibition increased the expression of these proteins. Furthermore, inhibiting MLCK impaired the anti-hypertrophic effects contributions produced by the knockdown of miR-200c.

conclusionOur studies suggest that miR-200c may serve as a potential therapeutic target that could delay hypertrophy. We have also uncovered a relationship between miR-200c and MLCK, identifying MLCK as a direct mediator of miR-200c.
