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

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a progressive systemic disease characterized by chronic inflammation response of the sacroiliac joint and spine. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely involved in the regulation of various diseases. However, the role of lncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in the inflammatory response of AS has not been studied. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in tissues and cells. The expression levels of MEG3, microRNA-146a (miR-146a), and inflammatory cytokines were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Correlation between MEG3 or miR-146a and inflammatory cytokines was analyzed by Pearson analysis. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were used to clarify the interaction between MEG3 and miR-146a. MEG3 was downregulated in AS patients, negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and blocked the inflammatory response of AS. MiR-146a was upregulated in AS patients and could interact with MEG3. The expression of miR-146a was positively correlated with IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels. Overexpression of miR-146a reversed the inhibitory effect of abnormal MEG3 expression on inflammatory cytokines. LncRNA MEG3 plays an anti-inflammatory role in AS partially through targeting miR-146a, which provides a potential new means for the treatment of AS patients.
