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

miR-126, an endothelial-specific microRNA, is associated to vascular integrity and angiogenesis. It is well established that angiogenesis plays a critical role in burn wound healing. However, there was a lack of understanding of the mechanism by which miR-126 regulates angiogenesis during burn wound healing. HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is a well-characterized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. Sciellin (SCEL), a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes, has been shown to inhibit migration and invasion capabilities of colorectal cancer cells. In this study, a cohort of 20 burn wound tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues were collected. LncRNA and messenger RNA expression profiles were screened by microarray analysis in five pairs of samples with mostly increased miR-126 levels. miR-126 was highly expressed in burn wound tissues and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to heat stress, whereas HOTAIR and SCEL were down-regulated after thermal injury. Bioinformatic analysis, dual luciferase reporter assay, and quantitative real-time PCR were conducted to validate that HOTAIR and SCEL competitively bind to miR-126 to function as the competitive endogenous RNA. miR-126 promoted endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, but suppressed apoptosis, while HOTAIR and SCEL exerted opposite effects in HUVECs. The biological functions were determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, Annexin-V-FITC/PI (propidium iodide/fluorescein isothiocyanate) staining, transwell migration, and tube formation assays. Collectively, our study revealed that HOTAIR/miR-126/SCEL axis contributes to burn wound healing through mediating angiogenesis.
