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

backgroundHumanin, a newly emerging endogenously expressed cytoprotective peptide, has been shown to have anti-apoptotic properties effects by protecting neuronal cells injury. Endothelial microparticles (EMPs) are considered as vital mediators in intercellular communication. EMPs may regulate various physiological and pathological processes by transferring mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) to recipient cells.

methodsEMPs were isolated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by ultracentrifugation. EMPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analyses. Observation of EMPs uptake into HUVECs and the number of EMPs were realized by confocal microscopy. The expression of miR-155 was examined using real-time PCR. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry assay.

resultsWe found that high glucose (HG) increased the number of EMPs and upregulated the expression of miR-155 contained within EMPs, which was mitigated by HNG pretreatment. miR-155 overexpression in EMPs reversed the effects of HNG pretreatment and increased apoptosis of target cells. Effects of HNG pretreatment on HG-treated endothelial cells (ECs) were mitigated after miR-155 mimic transfection into HUVECs while were augmented after miR-155 inhibitor transfection into HUVECs.

conclusionHNG inhibited HG-induced apoptosis of ECs and the effect of HNG may be mediated by inhibiting the transfer of EMPs miR-155 from HG-induced HUVECs to normal cells. This study provides a new direction for biological products related to humanin to treat vascular complications associated with all forms of diabetes mellitus.
