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

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common heart valve disease in aging populations, and aberrant osteogenic differentiation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of ectopic ossification of the aortic valve. miR-214 has been validated to be involved in the osteogenesis process. Here, we aim to investigate the role and mechanism of miR-214 in CAVD progression. miR-214 expression was significantly downregulated in CAVD aortic valve leaflets, accompanied by upregulation of osteogenic markers. Overexpression of miR-214 suppressed osteogenic differentiation of VICs, while silencing the expression of miR-214 promoted this function. miR-214 directly targeted ATF4 and Sp7 to modulate osteoblastic differentiation of VICs, which was proved by dual luciferase reporter assay and rescue experiment. miR-214 knockout rats exhibited higher mean transvalvular velocity and gradient. The expression of osteogenic markers in aortic valve leaflets of miR-214 knockout rats was upregulated compared to that of the wild-type group. Taken together, our study showed that miR-214 inhibited aortic valve calcification via regulating osteogenic differentiation of VICs by directly targeting ATF4 and Sp7, indicating that miR-214 may act as a profound candidate of targeting therapy for CAVD.
