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

backgroundMany studies have demonstrated that microRNAs, a class of small and non-coding RNA molecules, play an important role in the regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis. In the present study, we sought to investigate the function of miR-592 in the development of obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including hyperglycemia andinsulin resistance.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-592 were measured in the liver of obese mice and humans by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Loss- and gain-of function experiments were employed to explore the metabolic function of miR-592 using locked nucleic acids and adenovirus in lean and obese mice, respectively. The molecular target of miR-592 was determined by western blotting and luciferase reporter assays.

findingsWe found a significant decreased expression of miR-592 in the liver of obese mice and humans. Inhibition of miR-592 led to elevated blood glucose levels, enhanced gluconeogenesis and reduced insulin sensitivity in lean mice. In contrast, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of hepatic miR-592 improved metabolic disorders in obese mice. Mechanistically, we found that the transcription factor forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) is a direct target gene of miR-592 to mediate its metabolic functions. miR-592 was able to inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of FOXO1 by binding to its 3'-untranslated region. INTERPRETATIONS: Our findings demonstrate that obesity-associated down-regulation of miR-592 plays an important role in the progression of metabolic diseases. Restoration of hepatic miR-592 could improve glucose and lipid metabolism in obese mice.
