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

BACKGROUND &

aimsThe paradox of hepatic insulin resistance describes the inability for liver to respond to bioenergetics hormones in suppressing gluconeogenesis whilst maintaining lipid synthesis. Here, we report the deficiency of miR-192-3p in the livers of mice with diabetes and its role in alleviating hepatic steatosis.

methodsAs conventional pre-microRNA (miRNA) stem-loop overexpression only boosts guiding strand (

resultsFunctional loss of miR-192-3p in liver exacerbated hepatic micro-vesicular steatosis and insulin resistance in either mice with diabetes or wild-type mice with excessive fructose consumption. Liver-specific overexpression of miR-192-3p effectively halted hepatic steatosis and ameliorated insulin resistance in these mice models. Likewise, hepatocytes overexpressing miR-192-3p exhibited improved lipid accumulation, accompanied with decreases in lipogenesis and lipid-accumulation-related transcripts. Mechanistically, glucocorticoid receptor (GCR, also known as nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 [NR3C1]) was demonstrated to be negatively regulated by miR-192-3p. The effect of miR-192-3p on mitigating micro-vesicular steatosis was ablated by the reactivation of NR3C1.

conclusionsThe star strand miR-192-3p was an undermined glycerolipid regulator involved in controlling fat accumulation and insulin sensitivity in liver through blockade of hepatic GCR signalling; this miRNA may serve as a potential therapeutic option for the common co-mobility of diabetic mellitus and fatty liver disease. LAY SUMMARY: The potential regulatory activity of star strand microRNA (miRNA) species has been substantially underestimated. In this study, we investigate the role and mechanism of an overlooked star strand miRNA (miR-192-3p) in regulating hepatic steatosis and insulin signalling in the livers of mice with diabetes and mice under excessive carbohydrate consumption.
