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

introductionCalcified aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by valve thickening and calcification. Osteoblast differentiation is one of the key steps of valve calcification. CircRNAs is involved in osteogenic differentiation of multiple mesenchymal cells. However, the function of circRNA TGFBR2 (TGFBR2) in CAVD remained unclear. We explored the effect and mechanism of TGFBR2 in modulating CAVD. MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman aortic valve interstitial cells (VICs) were subjected to osteogenic induction, and transfected with TGFBR2, miR-25-3p mimic and siTWIST1. The relationship between miR-25-3p and GFBR2 was predicted by starBase and confirmed by luciferase reporter and Person's correlation test. The relationship between miR-25-3p and TWIST1 was predicted by TargetScan and confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. The expressions of TGFBR2, miR-25-3p, TWIST1, osteoblast markers (RUNX2 and OPN) were detected by Western blot or/and qRT-PCR. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodule was determined by colorimetric method and Alizarin Red S staining.

resultsThe expression of TGFBR2 was down-regulated and that of miR-25-3p was up-regulated in calcific valves and osteogenic VICs. TGFBR2 was inversely correlated with miR-25-3p expression in calcific valves. TGFBR2 sponged miR-25-3p to regulate TWIST1 expression in osteogenic VICs. During osteogenic differentiation, ALP activity, calcium nodule, the levels of osteoblast markers were increased in VICs. MiR-25-3p overexpression or TWIST1 knockdown reversed the inhibitory effect of TGFBR2 overexpression on ALP activity, calcium nodule, the expressions of RUNX2 and OPN in osteogenic VICs.

conclusionThe findings indicated that TGFBR2/miR-25-3p/TWIST1 axis regulates osteoblast differentiation in VICs, supporting the fact that TGFBR2 is a miRNA sponge in CAVD.
