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

Bone marrow (BM)-derived CD45 (BM45) cells were demonstrated to exhibit an improved antifibrotic effect on the treatment of CCL4-induced liver fibrosis by significantly increasing the level of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). In this study, we aimed to validate the therapeutic effect of BM45 on the treatment of liver cirrhosis and to further investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) on BM45. Accordingly, GAS5 significantly suppressed miR-222 and miR-21 expression but enhanced p27 and MMP-9 expression in HepG2 and LX2 cells. Additionally, GAS5 obstructed transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced dysregulation of miR-222, p27, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in mice. GAS5 showed a considerable potential to enhance the capability of BM45 in restoring the normal expression of CCL4, miR-222, miR-21, MMP-9, p27, and α-SMA that was dysregulated by alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, and fibrosis. In summary, our study validated the regulatory relationship between miR-21 and MMP-9, as well as between miR-222 and p27. The overexpression of GAS5 upregulated the expression of MMP-9 and p27 via respectively reducing the miR-222 and miR-21 expression, resulting in higher BM45-induced activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Accordingly, same results were obtained in an animal model, indicating that GAS5 may exert a positive effect on the treatment of BM45 of liver cirrhosis.
