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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a refractory disease often accompanied by inflammation. Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 (lncRNA NEAT1) was reported to be involved in the expression of the inflammasomes, while the regulatory effect of NEAT1 on SCI was poorly investigated. Herein, we carried out further studies on the pathogenesis of SCI. PC-12 cells were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce inflammation. Western blotting assay was used to measure the protein expression levels. RNA expression levels were analyzed using RT-qPCR. Cell counting kit 8 and flow cytometry assays were used to separately determine the cell viability and apoptosis rate. The targeted relationships were verified by luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. It was found that LPS induced inflammation in the PC-12 cells, leading to significantly higher cell apoptosis rate and lower viability, and the expression level of NEAT1 was elevated by LPS. However, knockdown of NEAT1 partially reversed the effects of LPS. Subsequently, the potential interaction between NEAT1 and miR-211-5p was validated and miR-211-5p inhibitor was further confirmed to antagonize the effects of NEAT knockdown. The downstream target gene of miR-211-5p was predicted and verified to be MAPK1. In addition, overexpression of MAPK1 was proved to antagonize the effects of NEAT1 knockdown. Taken together, the knockdown of NEAT1 remarkably alleviated the inflammation of SCI via miR-211-5p/MAPK1 axis.
