Anti-inflammatory effect of up-regulated microRNA-221-3p on coronary heart disease via suppressing NLRP3/ASC/pro-caspase-1 inflammasome pathway activation.
Article in Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
objectiveAs some evidence has demonstrated the role of microRNA-221 (miR-221) on coronary heart disease (CHD), the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of miR-221-3p on CHD via regulating NLRP3/ASC/pro-caspase-1 inflammasome pathway.
methodsSixty CHD patients and 60 healthy controls were collected to detect the expression of miR-221-3p, NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1 in peripheral blood and the contents of related factors in serum. The rats model of CHD was injected with miR-221-3p agomir or miR-221-3p antagomir to explore its functions in miR-221-3p, NLRP3, ASC and pro-caspase-1 expression, electrocardiogram data, cardiomyocytes apoptosis, myocardial injury, inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress of CHD rats.
resultsMiR-221-3p declined and NLRP3, ASC and pro-caspase-1 raised in CHD. Up-regulated miR-221-3p reduced the change value of J-point and T-wave, decreased NLRP3, ASC and pro-caspase-1 expression, suppressed apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, as well as suppressed myocardial injury, inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress in CHD rats.
conclusionThis study highlights that up-regulated miR-221-3p suppresses the overactivation of NLRP3/ASC/pro-caspase-1 inflammasome pathway and has an anti-inflammatory effect in CHD. Thus, miR-221-3p may serve as a potential target for the treatment of CHD.
