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

OBJECTIVE AND

designDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been discovered to play a crucial role in DR, but the mechanisms underlying the effects of miR-301a-3p on DR are poorly understood. This paper was designed to explore the possible role of miR-301a-3p in DR.

methodsThe diabetic rat model was established by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The effects of miR-301a-3p on the biological functions of HRECs were determined through a series of experiments in vitro/vivo.

resultsThe results revealed that interference with miR-301a-3p could decrease the expressions of inflammatory factors and apoptosis in the retinal tissue of DR. Furthermore, it can alleviate the oxidative stress in DR serum, reduce VEGF expression, increase endothelial cell marker expression, and inhibit (High Glucose) HG-induced apoptosis of HRECs. Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 (STEAP4) was the target of miR-301a-3p. All the effects of miR-301a-3p in DR model were reversed by STEAP4 inhibitor.

conclusionmiR-301a-3p promotes diabetic retinopathy via regulation of STEAP4. The findings in this study may provide a vital reference for the drug research and development in DR treatment.
