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

Transforming growth factor‑β1 (TGF‑β1)‑induced epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) serves a significant role in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) contribute to PF pathogenesis via EMT regulation. However, the role of miR‑483‑5p in PF remains unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the potential effect of miR‑483‑5p on TGF‑β1‑induced EMT in PF. It was found that the expression of miR‑483‑5p was upregulated in both PF tissue and A549 cells treated with TGF‑β1, whereas expression of Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor 1 (RhoGDI1) was downregulated. miR‑483‑5p mimic transfection promoted TGF‑β1‑induced EMT; by contrast, miR‑483‑5p inhibitor inhibited TGF‑β1‑induced EMT. Also, miR‑483‑5p mimic decreased RhoGDI1 expression, whereas miR‑483‑5p inhibitor increased RhoGDI1 expression. Furthermore, dual‑luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that miR‑483‑5p directly regulated RhoGDI1. Moreover, RhoGDI1 knockdown eliminated the inhibitory effect of the miR‑483‑5p inhibitor on TGF‑β1‑induced EMT via the Rac family small GTPase (Rac)1/PI3K/AKT pathway. In conclusion, these data indicated that miR‑483‑5p inhibition ameliorated TGF‑β1‑induced EMT by targeting RhoGDI1 via the Rac1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in PF, suggesting a potential role of miR‑483‑5p in the prevention and treatment of PF.
