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

Endothelial inflammation and dysfunction are critical to the process of atherosclerosis. Emerging evidence demonstrates that upregulation of miR-200a reduces VCAM-1 expression and prevents monocytic cell adhesion onto the aortic endothelium. However, limited information is available about the role of microRNA-200a (miR-200a) in facilitating atherosclerotic lesion formation. We investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic actions of miR-200a. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in the presence of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and their viability and apoptosis were evaluated using CCK-8 assays and flow cytometric analysis. The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) promoter activity was evaluated in the presence of miR-200a by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. EZH2-mediated methylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was validated by ChIP and IP assays. ApoE
