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

BACKGROUND miR-214-3p has been found to inhibit proliferation and migration in cancer cells. The objective of this study was to determine whether ARHGEF12 is involved in miR-214-3p-mediated suppression of proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). MATERIAL AND METHODS PASMCs were cultured under normoxia or hypoxia. miR-214-3p mimics or inhibitors were transiently transfected into PASMCs. Proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of PASMCs were evaluated using MTT assay, flow cytometry, and Boyden chamber apparatus. Western blot analysis was used to examine expression of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 12 (ARHGEF12), c-fos, c-jun, and caspase-3. Luciferase reporter assay was used to test the direct regulation of miR-214-3p on the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of ARHGEF12. RESULTS miR-214-3p was significantly upregulated in hypoxia-treated PASMCs. Knockdown of miR-214-3p significantly attenuated hypoxia-induced proliferation and migration in PASMCs and promoted apoptosis, whereas this effect was aggravated by overexpression of miR-214-3p. In addition, dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that ARHGEF12 is a direct target gene of miR-214-3p. The protein levels of ARHGEF12 were downregulated after knockdown of miR-214-3p in PASMCs. Rescue experiment results indicated that decreased proliferation of PASMCs resulted from knockdown of miR-214-3p were partially reversed by silencing of ARHGEF12 by siRNA. Furthermore, knockdown of miR-214-3p reduced expression of c-jun and c-fos, but increased expression of caspase-3 in PASMCs under hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, these results indicate that miR-214-3p acts as a novel regulator of hypoxia-induced proliferation and migration by directly targeting ARHGEF12 and dysregulating c-jun and c-fos in PASMCs, and may be a potential therapeutic target for treating pulmonary hypertension.
