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

The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder and an important cause of refractory hypertension. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of hypertension, but their role in OSAS with hypertension (OSAS-hypertension) has been little studied. Evidence indicates that miR-126a-3p expression is lower in patients with OSAS-hypertension compared with the patients with OSAS alone. However, its role in the pathogenesis of OSAS-hypertension remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of miR-126a-3p in OSAS-hypertension and to determine whether HIF-1α is involved in this process. Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) for 8 weeks to induce OSAS-hypertension. Rat aortic smooth muscle cells (A7r5) were cultured under hypoxia as an in vitro model. Our results showed that rats exposed to 8 week CIH exhibited decreased miR-126a-3p and increased HIF-1α expression. Furthermore, administration of recombinant adeno-associated virus expressing miR-126a-3p (rAAV-miR-126a) counteracted the CIH-induced systolic blood pressure upregulation, oxidase stress, inflammation, and heart and abdominal aorta vascular remodeling. Moreover, the mechanism was associated with its targeted suppression of HIF-1α. These findings suggest that miR-126a-3p might be a novel potential therapeutic target for the treatment of OSAS-hypertension.
