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

The contribution of miRNA in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) has emerged in the past few decades. Differential miRNA expression has been demonstrated in UC patients, and their ability to target the genes involved in inflammatory pathway has also been explored in recent years. miR-125b and miR-223 have been demonstrated to get upregulated within the colonic mucosa of UC patients. Here, we explored the biological relevance of miR-125b and miR-223 altered expression during UC by identifying the potential gene targets for miR-125b and miR-223. TRAF6 and A20, the signaling molecules involved in the NFκB pathway, were identified as target genes for miR-125b while IKKα was identified as a gene target for miR-223. The colonic mucosal samples from UC patients exhibited a significant rise in miR-125b and miR-223 expression while a subsequent downregulation was observed in the expression of TRAF6, A20, and IKKα. This negative correlation between miRNAs and their respective target genes was validated by co-transfecting miR-125b and miR-223 in HT29 cells. Co-transfection with miR-125b resulted in a marked decline in the expression of TRAF6 and A20, while the miR-223 co-transfected cells exhibited lower IKKα expression levels. Additionally, co-transfection with miR-125b or miR-223 in HT29 cells caused higher p65 and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-8 and IL-1β) expression upon LPS stimulation. From our findings, we highlight the possible contribution of miR-125b and miR-223 in regulating the inflammatory response during UC by negatively regulating the expression of TRAF6, A20, and IKKα. Therefore, we conclude that these two miRNAs could be considered as potential candidates for developing promising biomarkers for screening and diagnosis of UC.
