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

objectiveDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most severe and common complications of diabetes mellitus. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of MEG3, miR-19b and SOCS6 in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs) under high glucose conditions.

methodsHRMECs were cultured in 5 or 30 mM D-glucose medium. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA expression and protein levels. MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis were performed to detect the viability and apoptosis of hRMECs, respectively. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β levels in cell supernatants were detected by ELISA. The activity of caspase-3/7 was also determined. A luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the targeting relationship between miR-19b and SOCS6, as well as MEG3 and miR-19b.

resultsOur study demonstrated that miR-19b was increased and SOCS6 was decreased in HG-induced hRMECs. Knockdown of SOCS6 inhibited cell viability and reversed the promotion of cell viability induced by knockdown of miR-19b. Additionally, miR-19b directly targeted and negatively regulated SOCS6. Moreover, miR-19b promoted the cell apoptosis rate and caspase-3/7 activity and increased inflammatory factors through the SOCS6-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway. In addition, MEG3 attenuated HG-induced apoptosis of hRMECs by targeting the miR-19b/SOCS6 axis.

conclusionThese findings indicate that MEG3 inhibited HG-induced apoptosis and inflammation by regulating the miR-19b/SOCS6 axis through the JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway in hRMECs. Thus, these findings might provide a new target for the treatment of DR.
