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

backgroundEndothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a common pathophysiology in valvular calcification (VC) among non-chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, few studies were investigated in CKD-induced VC. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was considered to be an important component of EndMT in CKD-induced cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, determining whether PTH could induce valvular EndMT and elucidating corresponding mechanism involved further study.

methodsPerforming a 5/6 nephrectomy with a high phosphorus diet was done to construct VC models in rats with CKD. miRNA sequencing was used to ascertain changes in microRNA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) intervened by PTH. VC was observed by Von Kossa staining and scanning electron microscope.

resultsPTH induced valvular EndMT in VC. Global microRNA expression profiling of HUVECs was examined in PTH versus the control in vitro, in which miR-29a-5p was most notably decreased and was resumed by PTHrP(7-34) (PTH-receptor1 inhibitor). Overexpression of miR-29a-5p could inhibit PTH-induced EndMT in vitro and valvular EndMT in vivo. The dual-luciferase assay verified that γ-secretase-activating protein (GASP) served as the target of miR-29a-5p. miR-29a-5p-mimics, si-GSAP and DAPT (γ-secretase inhibitor) inhibited PTH-induced γ-secretase activation, thus blocking Notch1 pathway activation to inhibit EndMT in vitro. Moreover, Notch1 pathway activation was observed in VC. Blocking Notch1 pathway activation via AAV-miR-29a and DAPT inhibited valvular EndMT. In addition, blocking Notch1 pathway activation was also shown to alleviate VC.

conclusionPTH activates valvular EndMT via miR-29a-5p/GSAP/Notch1 pathway, which can contribute to VC in CKD rats.
