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

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in nasal epithelial cells is involved with tissue remodeling of nasal polyps. The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms through which miR‑155‑5p regulated EMT in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Patients were divided into the following groups: CRSsNP, CRS without nasal polyposis group, CRSwNP, CRS with nasal polyposis and controls. The expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1, EMT markers, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and miR‑155‑5p were determined by western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Cell morphology following TGF‑β1 treatment in the presence of miR‑155‑5p inhibitors or controls was observed under a microscope. Target genes and potential binding sites between miR‑155‑5p and SIRT1 were predicted by TargetScan and confirmed using dual‑luciferase reporter assay. In patients with CRS, the expression levels of E‑cadherin were downregulated and the expression levels of TGF‑β1, mesenchymal markers and miR‑155‑5p were upregulated. Additionally, these changes in expression levels were reduced or increased to a greater extent in the CRSwNP group compared with the CRSsNP group. Furthermore, TGF‑β1 expression promoted EMT in human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) and upregulated miR‑155‑5p expression. These effects were reversed by miR‑155‑5p inhibitors. Additionally, SIRT1 was predicted as a target gene of miR‑155‑5p. Downregulation of miR‑155‑5p upregulated epithelial marker expression and downregulated mesenchymal marker expression by regulating SIRT1. Therefore, the downregulation of miR‑155‑5p inhibited EMT in HNEpCs by targeting SIRT1.
