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

Ischemic heart disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. In adult mammalian hearts, most cardiomyocytes are terminally differentiated and have extremely limited capacity of proliferation, making it impossible to regenerate the heart after injuries such as myocardial infarction. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding single-stranded RNA, which are involved in mRNA silencing and the regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression, have been shown to play a crucial role in cardiac development and cardiomyocyte proliferation. Muscle specific miRNAs such as miR-1 are key regulators of cardiomyocyte maturation and growth, while miR-199-3p and other miRNAs display potent activity to induce proliferation of cardiomyocytes. Given their small size and relative pleiotropic effects, miRNAs have gained significant attraction as promising therapeutic targets or tools in cardiac regeneration. Increasing number of studies demonstrated that overexpression or inhibition of specific miRNAs could induce cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac regeneration. Some common targets of pro-proliferation miRNAs, such as the Hippo-Yap signaling pathway, were identified in multiple species, highlighting the power of miRNAs as probes to dissect core regulators of biological processes. A number of miRNAs have been shown to improve heart function after myocardial infarction in mice, and one trial in swine also demonstrated promising outcomes. However, technical difficulties, especially in delivery methods, and adverse effects, such as uncontrolled proliferation, remain. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in miRNA research in cardiac development and regeneration, examine the mechanisms of miRNA regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation, and discuss its potential as a new strategy for cardiac regeneration therapy.
