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

backgroundAtherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder. The aim of our study was to explore the role of circular RNA (circRNA) transmembrane 7 superfamily member 3 (circTM7SF3) in AS progression.

methodsExperiments were conducted using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced THP-1-derived macrophages and differentiated human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of circTM7SF3, its linear form TM7SF3, microRNA-206 (miR-206) and aspartyl (asparaginyl) β-hydroxylase (ASPH) messenger RNA (mRNA). Cell viability and apoptosis were examined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry. Cell inflammation was analyzed by measuring the production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Cell oxidative stress was assessed through analyzing the levels of oxidative stress markers using their corresponding commercial kits. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA-pull down assay were used to confirm the interaction between miR-206 and circTM7SF3 or ASPH. The protein level of ASPH was examined by Western blot assay.

resultsCircTM7SF3 level was markedly increased in the serum samples of AS patients and ox-LDL-induced THP-1-derived macrophages compared with their matching counterparts. ox-LDL induced-damage in THP-1 cells was partly attenuated by the interference of circTM7SF3. MiR-206 was a downstream molecular target of circTM7SF3. Si-circTM7SF3-mediated effects in ox-LDL-induced THP-1-derived macrophages were partly ameliorated by the addition of anti-miR-206. MiR-206 directly interacted with ASPH mRNA. CircTM7SF3 silencing reduced the expression of ASPH partly through up-regulating miR-206 in THP-1-derived macrophages. ASPH overexpression partly counteracted the effects induced by miR-206 overexpression in ox-LDL-induced THP-1-derived macrophages.

conclusionCircTM7SF3 contributed to ox-LDL-induced injury in AS cell model through up-regulating the expression of ASPH via targeting miR-206.
