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

The proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) play an important role in the development of skeletal muscle. Our previous sequencing data showed that miR-21-5p is one of the most abundant miRNAs in chicken skeletal muscle. Therefore, in this study, the spatiotemporal expression of miR-21-5p and its effects on skeletal muscle development of chickens were explored using in vitro cultured SMSCs as a model. The results in this study showed that miR-21-5p was highly expressed in the skeletal muscle of chickens. The overexpression of miR-21-5p promoted the proliferation of SMSCs as evidenced by increased cell viability, increased cell number in the proliferative phase, and increased mRNA and protein expression of proliferation markers including PCNA, CDK2, and CCND1. Moreover, it was revealed that miR-21-5p promotes the formation of myotubes by modulating the expression of myogenic markers including MyoG, MyoD, and MyHC, whereas knockdown of miR-21-5p showed the opposite result. Gene prediction and dual fluorescence analysis confirmed that KLF3 was one of the direct target genes of miR-21-5p. We confirmed that, contrary to the function of miR-21-5p, KLF3 plays a negative role in the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. Si-KLF3 promotes cell number and proliferation activity, as well as the cell differentiation processes. Our results demonstrated that miR-21-5p promotes the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs by targeting KLF3. Collectively, the results obtained in this study laid a foundation for exploring the mechanism through which miR-21-5p regulates SMSCs.
