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

Previous studies show that Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of various human diseases. This study aimed to reveal how LncRNA CRNDE regulated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and apoptosis in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Here, we found CRNDE was down-regulated in AAA tissues and AngII-stimulated VSMCs. The overexpression of CRNDE promoted VSMCs proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis. The interaction between CRNDE and Bcl-3 or Bcl-3 and Smad3 was verified. The interference with Bcl-3 or CRNDE reduced Smad3 stability or promoted Smad3 ubiquitination. After pcDNA-CRNDE or pcDNA-CRNDE+si-Bcl-3 was transfected into VSMCs and stimulated with AngII, CRNDE affected VSMCs proliferation and apoptosis via regulating Smad3 via Bcl-3. Vivo experiments showed the overexpression of CRNDE repressed AAA growth. Therefore, we concluded that CRNDE was down-regulated in AAA tissues and AngII-stimulated VSMCs. Furthermore, the overexpression of CRNDE promoted VSMCs proliferation and repressed cell apoptosis in AAA by up-regulating Smad3 via Bcl-3.
