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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a severe diabetes-induced eye disease, in which its pathological phenomena basically include abnormal proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of microvascular endothelial cells in the retina. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proven to be important regulators in various biological processes, but their participation in DR remains largely undiscovered. In the present study, we aimed to unveil the role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in regulating the functions of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs) under a high-glucose (HG) condition. We found that SNHG16 expression was significantly upregulated in hRMECs treated with HG. Functionally, SNHG16 could facilitate hRMEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Moreover, SNHG16 was associated with nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways. Mechanistically, SNHG16 could promote hRMEC dysfunction by sequestering microRNA (miR)-146a-5p and miR-7-5p to act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) with interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). In conclusion, our results illustrated the potential role of SNHG16 in facilitating hRMEC dysfunction under HG treatment, providing a novel approach for DR therapy.
