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

Increasing evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in various diseases; however, their roles in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) remain unclear. Dedifferentiation and dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells have been shown to contribute to AMD etiology in several studies. Herein, we found that lncRNA LINC00167 was downregulated in RPE-choroid samples of AMD patients and dysfunctional RPE cells, and it was consistently upregulated along with RPE differentiation. In vitro study indicated that reduced endogenous LINC00167 expression resulted in RPE dedifferentiation, which was typified by attenuated expression of RPE markers, reduced vascular endothelial growth factor A secretion, accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, and interrupted phagocytic ability. Mechanistically, LINC00167 functioned as a sponge for microRNA miR-203a-3p to restore the expression of the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), which further inhibited the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway. Taken together, our study demonstrated that LINC00167 showed a protective role in AMD by maintaining RPE differentiation through the LINC00167/miR-203a-3p/SOCS3 axis and might be a potential therapeutic target for AMD.
