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

Inflammation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the key events in intimal hyperplasia. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 affects VSMC inflammation and proliferation in this context. A vein graft (VG) model was established in mice to introduce intimal hyperplasia. Isolated normal VSMCs were induced with platelet-derived growth factor type BB (PDGF-BB), and the cell proliferation, migration, and secretion of inflammatory factors were determined. The results showed that KCNQ1OT1 was downregulated in the VSMCs from mice with intimal hyperplasia and in the PDGF-BB-treated VSMCs, and such downregulation of KCNQ1OT1 resulted from the increased methylation level in the KCNQ1OT1 promoter. Overexpressing KCNQ1OT1 suppressed PDFG-BB-induced VSMC proliferation, migration, and secretion of inflammatory factors. In VSMCs, KCNQ1OT1 bound to the nuclear transcription factor kappa Ba (IκBa) protein and increased the cellular IκBa level by reducing phosphorylation and promoting ubiquitination of the IκBa protein. Meanwhile, KCNQ1OT1 promoted the expression of IκBa by sponging miR-221. The effects of KCNQ1OT1 knockdown on promoting VSMC proliferation, migration, and secretion of inflammatory factors were abolished by IκBa overexpression. The roles of KCNQ1OT1 in reducing the intimal area and inhibiting IκBa expression were proved in the VG mouse model after KCNQ1OT1 overexpression. In conclusion, KCNQ1OT1 attenuated intimal hyperplasia by suppressing the inflammation and proliferation of VSMCs, in which the mechanism upregulated IκBa expression by binding to the IκBa protein and sponging miR-221.
