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 present study aimed to investigate the effect of microRNA (miR)-146a on the secretion of hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen I in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) orbital fibroblasts, and identify potential novel targets for the clinical treatment of GO. Orbital fibroblasts were extracted from orbital connective tissue, and primary cells were identified via immunohistochemistry. The levels of HA and collagen I in orbital fibroblasts of non-GO controls and patients with GO were examined via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). miR-146a was overexpressed or inhibited in primary orbital fibroblasts via lentiviral infection, and the levels of HA and collagen I following miR-146a overexpression or inhibition were detected via ELISA and RT-qPCR. The results indicated that the mRNA expression of HA and collagen I was higher in orbital fibroblasts from patients with GO compared with the non-GO cohort. Overexpression of miR-146a reduced, and inhibition of miR-146a increased the production of HA and collagen I in GO orbital fibroblasts. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that miR-146a downregulated the secretion of HA and collagen I in GO orbital fibroblasts
