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

aimMore than half of microRNAs are located in genes. LncRNAs are host genes of intronic microRNAs that regulate intracellular splicing to form pre-miRNAs that are processed to mature miRNAs. MicroRNAs work as partners or antagonists of their host lncRNAs by fine-tuning their target genes. However, whether lncRNA-MIR503HG (miR-503 host gene) is co-transcribed with miR-503 and affects miR-503 splicing, thereby affecting its target gene

methodsHuman proximal tubular (HK-2) cells cultured in high glucose were transfected with lncRNA MIR503HG overexpression/inhibition plasmid and miR-503 mimics/inhibitor. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure the expression levels of lncRNA MIR503HG, pre-miR-503, miR-503 and

resultsHost lncRNA MIR503HG was co-transcribed with miR-503. MIR503HG regulated the expression of miR-503 by affecting miR-503 splicing synthesis. In the presence of high glucose, the expression levels of lncRNA MIR503HG and miR-503 were up-regulated in HK-2 cells cultured in high glucose. Bcl-2 expression was inhibited and levels of apoptosis-related proteins Cytc and Bax were increased in HK-2 cells cultured in high glucose, all of which promoted the caspase cascade reaction, leading to increased caspase-9 and caspase-3 shear fragments inducing apoptosis of the mitochondrial pathway. Inhibition of MIR503HG led to a reduction in miR-503 expression, up-regulated its target gene
