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

The present study aimed to investigate the expression pattern and underlying mechanism of microRNA-372 (miR-372) in the progression of ulcerative colitis (UC). Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to measure miR-372 expression levels in the blood and colonic mucosa tissue samples from patients with UC. The present study demonstrated that levels of miR-372 were significantly increased in the blood and colonic mucosa tissue samples from patients with UC compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, the level of serum miR-372 was positively correlated with the level of serum c-reactive protein. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that levels of miR-372 detected in serum and tissue samples could be used to screen for patients with UC from healthy controls. These results indicated a potential role of miR-372 as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for patients with UC. Furthermore, a conserved miR-372 binding site in the 3'untranslated region of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 12 (NLRP12) was identified. Dual luciferase assay demonstrated that overexpression of miR-372 significantly reduced the relative luciferase activity of pmirGLO-NLRP12-3'UTR compared with control pmirGLO. In addition, western blot analysis indicated that overexpression of miR-372 significantly decreased the protein expression level of NLRP12. Therefore it was hypothesized that miR-372 may promote the progression of UC by suppressing NLRP12 protein expression and thereby inducing the excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, high levels of miR-372 detected in peripheral blood samples may serve a role as a potential biomarker to screen potential patients with UC from healthy controls.
