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

Pneumonia is an inflammatory disease with leading mortality rate in children. It has been well established that microRNAs (miRNAs) have been regarded as critical regulator in acute lung injury. We intended to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of miR-495 on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced WI-38 cells. Here, we first found that miR-495 was downregulated in serum of patients with acute stage pneumonia. To establish cell model of acute pneumonia, WI-38 cells were treated with 20 μg/mL LPS, and qRT-PCR analysis also confirmed the downregulation of miR-495 in LPS-induced WI-38 cells. Data from MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and flow cytometry assays showed that the decreased cell viability and induced cell apoptosis by LPS treatment were also reversed by miR-495 over-expression. Moreover, miR-495 inhibited expression of associated inflammatory factors, which were induced by LPS treatment. Second, ROCK1 (rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 1) was identified as functional target gene of miR-495, whose expression was decreased by miR-495. Mechanically, combination of miR-495 and ROCK1 over-expression reversed the influence of miR-495 on LPS-induced inflammation, viability, and apoptosis. In conclusion, our findings indicated that miR-495 inhibited LPS-induced inflammation injury and apoptosis in WI-38 cells via targeting ROCK1, which would shed light on therapeutic schedule in acute pneumonia.
