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

backgroundPrimary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a known acute lung injury (ALI) and a major cause of fatality post-lung transplantation. Though some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been studied in ALI through regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs), their effects on PGD remain undefined. The present study aims to explore the underlying mechanism of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) in PGD after lung transplantation.

methodsInitially, the expression of miR-21, IL-12A and XIST was determined by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The dual luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down and RIP assay were performed to identify the targeting relationship between miR-21 and IL-12A and the binding relationship between miR-21 and XIST. Loss- and gain-of-function investigations were conducted in rats treated with prolonged cold ischemia and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs).

findingsmiR-21 was decreased, whilst XIST and IL-12A were increased in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of PGD patients after lung transplantation. Enhanced miR-21 expression in rats and PMNs resulted in downregulated expression of pro-inflammatory factors and chemokines, and enhanced the apoptosis of PMNs. XIST was found to upregulate IL-12A expression in a miR-21-dependent manner. Additionally, XIST silencing enhanced the apoptosis of PMNs and inhibited the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation through upregulation of miR-21 but downregulation of IL-12A in vivo.

interpretationIn summary, lncRNA XIST upregulates IL-12A by binding to miR-21, thereby inducing NET formation and accelerating PGD after lung transplantation. This suggests that inhibition of XIST and NET may be beneficial for the treatment of PGD.
