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

Endometritis is a postnatal reproductive disorder disease, which leads to great economic losses for the modern dairy industry. Emerging evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in a variety of diseases and have been identified as critical regulators of the innate immune response. Recent miRNome profile analysis revealed an altered expression level of miR-148a in cows with endometritis. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the regulatory role of miR-148a in the innate immune response involved in endometritis and estimate its potential therapeutic value. Here, we found that miR-148a expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated endometrial epithelial cells was significantly decreased. Our results also showed that overexpression of miR-148a using agomiR markedly reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and TNF-α. Moreover, overexpression of miR-148a also suppressed NF-κB p65 activation by targeting the TLR4-mediated pathway. Subsequently, we further verified that miR-148a repressed TLR4 expression by binding to the 3'-UTR of TLR4 mRNA. Additionally, an experimental mouse endometritis model was employed to evaluate the therapeutic value of miR-148a. In vivo studies suggested that up-regulation of miR-148a alleviated the inflammatory conditions in the uterus as evidenced by H&E staining, qPCR and Western blot assays, while inhibition of miR-148a had inverse effects. Collectively, pharmacologic stabilization of miR-148a represents a novel therapy for endometritis and other inflammation-related diseases.
