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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been confirmed to participate in liver fibrosis progression and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). In this study, the role of miR-193a/b-3p in concanavalin A (ConA)-induced liver fibrosis in mice was evaluated. According to the results, the expression of miR-193a/b-3p was down-regulated in liver tissues after exposure to ConA. Lentivirus-mediated overexpression of miR-193a/b-3p reduced ConA-induced liver injury as demonstrated by decreasing ALT and AST levels. Moreover, ConA-induced liver fibrosis was restrained by the up-regulation of miR-193a/b-3 through inhibiting collagen deposition, decreasing desmin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and lessening the content of hydroxyproline, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and activin A in liver tissues. Furthermore, miR-193a/b-3p mimics suppressed the proliferation of human HSCs LX-2 via inducing the apoptosis of LX-2 cells and lowering the levels of cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1, p-Rb and CAPRIN1. Finally, TGF-β1 and activin A-mediated activation of LX-2 cells was reversed by miR-193a/b-3p mimics via repressing COL1A1 and α-SMA expression, and restraining the activation of TGF-β/Smad2/3 signalling pathway. CAPRIN1 and TGF-β2 were demonstrated to be the direct target genes of miR-193a/b-3p. We conclude that miR-193a/b-3p overexpression attenuates liver fibrosis through suppressing the proliferation and activation of HSCs. Our data suggest that miR-193a-3p and miR-193b-3p may be new therapeutic targets for liver fibrosis.
