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

Hypoxia-related microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Because potential variations in miRNA expression mediated by hypoxic lung injury at high altitude remain incompletely characterized, we used a rat model to investigate the biochemical and miRNA changes induced by high-altitude hypoxia. After 24, 48, or 72 h of hypoxic exposure, expression of VEGF/Notch pathway-related proteins were increased in rat lung tissues. Microarray screening of hypoxic lung samples revealed 57 differentially expressed miRNAs, 19 of which were related to the VEGF/Notch signaling pathway. We verified that the top downregulated miRNA (miR-203a-3p) suppresses VEGF-A translation through direct binding and also indirectly reduces Notch1, VEGFR2, and Hes1 levels, which restricts the angiogenic capacity of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in vitro. These findings may aid in the development of new therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of hypoxic lung injury at high altitude.
