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 explore the potential roles and mechanism of microRNA-4485 (miR-4485) in severe influenza pneumonia. miR-4485 expression was detected in patients with severe H1N1 pneumonia using quantitative PCR. Furthermore, the effects of aberrantly expressed miR-4485 on H1N1-infected A549 cells were investigated using Cell Counting Kit-8, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, western blotting and (ELISA) assays. Furthermore, the regulatory relationships between miR-4485 and the STAT3-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway were explored using a luciferase reporter and rescue assay. MiR-4485 expression was downregulated following H1N1 infection and in patients with H1N1 pneumonia. In addition, miR-4485 alleviated H1N1-induced A549 cell injury by promoting cell viability and the production of cytokines, as well as reducing apoptosis in A549 cells. Furthermore, STAT3 was revealed to be a target gene of miR-4485. Additionally, STAT3 silencing reversed the protective effects of miR-4485 knockdown on H1N1-induced cell injury via inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-4485 inhibited H1N1-induced severe pneumonia in A549 cells by targeting STAT3 via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
