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

Coronary microembolization (CME) is a complicated problem that commonly arises in the context of coronary angioplasty. The lncRNA taurine-up regulated gene 1 (TUG1), significantly contributes to cardiovascular diseases; however, its contribution to CME-induced myocardial damage remains elusive. Herein, we establish the rat CME model and investigate the role of TUG1 in CME. The cell viability was evaluated via CCK-8 assay. Serum and cell culture supernatant samples were evaluated via ELISA. The dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assay, RIP, and RNA-pull down were conducted to validate the associations between TUG1 and miR-186-5p as well as miR-186-5p and XIAP. The expression of TUG1, miR-186-5p, and XIAP mRNA were determined by RT-qPCR, and proteins were evaluated via immuneblotting. As a result, TUG1 and XIAP were significantly down-regulated, and the miR-186-5p level was found to be remarkably up-regulated in CME myocardial tissues. Overexpression of TUG1 alleviated CME-induced myocardial injury and pyroptosis, whereas TUG1 knockdown showed the opposite effects. The DLR assay, RIP, and RNA-pull down results reveal that TUG1 directly targets miR-186-5p and miR-186-5p directly targets XIAP. In vitro rescue experiments show that TUG1 overexpression alleviates LPS-caused cardiomyocyte injury and pyroptosis via sponging miR-186-5p and regulating XIAP, and depression of miR-186-5p reduces LPS-induced cardiomyocyte injury and pyroptosis by targeting XIAP. Concludingly, the overexpression of TUG1 alleviates NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through targeting the miR-186-5p/XIAP axis in CME-induced myocardial injury.
