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

backgroundAtherosclerosis remains a leading cause of cardiology disease worldwide, which vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and apoptosis are involved. Increasing evidences have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) considered to be critical regulatory factors of VSMCs function. However, the molecular mechanism is not fully understood.

methodsFirst, we establish the ox-LDL induced VSMC model. We conducted RT-PCR to measure MEG3 expression and miR-361-5p expression in this model. The proliferation and apoptosis of VSMCs were measured via CCK-8 proliferative assay and flow cytometry respectively. We used knockdown and overexpression system to identify the molecular mechanism. In addition, luciferase report assay and bioinformatics analysis were used to confirm the bio-target of different factors.

resultsLncRNA MEG3 was down-regulated and related with miR-361-5p expression in ox-LDL injured VSMCs. Inhibition of lncRNA MEG3 promotes the proliferation and decelerates apoptosis of VSMCs. Moreover, MEG3 acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-361-5p and further regulate ABCA1 expression regulate proliferation and apoptosis in ox-LDL injured VSMCs.

conclusionThese results suggest that LncRNA MEG3 regulate proliferation and apoptosis in ox-LDL injured VSMCs and function as a ceRNA for miR-361-5p to modulate ABCA1 expression.
