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

Fibrosis is a universal finding in chronic allograft dysfunction, and it is characterized by an accumulation of extracellular matrix. The precise source of the myofibroblasts responsible for matrix deposition is not understood, and pharmacological strategies for prevention or treatment of fibrosis remain limited. One source of myofibroblasts in fibrosis is an endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), a process first described in heart development and involving endothelial cells undergoing a phenotypic change to become more like mesenchymal cells. Recently, lineage tracing of endothelial cells in mouse models allowed studies of EndMT in vivo and reported 27% to 35% of myofibroblasts involved in cardiac fibrosis and 16% of isolated fibroblasts in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis to be of endothelial origin. Over the past decade, mature microRNAs (miRNAs) have increasingly been described as key regulators of biological processes through repression or degradation of targeted mRNA. The stability and abundance of miRNAs in body fluids make them attractive as potential biomarkers, and progress is being made in developing miRNA targeted therapeutics. In this review, we will discuss the evidence of miRNA regulation of EndMT from in vitro and in vivo studies and the potential relevance of this to heart, lung, and kidney allograft dysfunction.
