LncRNA PICSAR binds to miR-485-5p and activates TGF-β1/Smad to promote abnormal proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM).

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.
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 purpose of this study is to explore whether LncRNA PICSAR binds to miR-485-5p and thereby activates TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, influencing the abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts and excessive deposition of ECM in hypertrophic scar formation. PICSAR and miR-485-5p expressions were detected by qPCR. Cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8. Protein expressions were determined by western blot. Immunofluorescence detected the Ki-67 expression. Dual-luciferase followed by immunoprecipitation was performed to verify the interaction between PICSAR and miR-485-5p. Interference with PICSAR inhibited the abnormal proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) and the excessive deposition of ECM. It was also confirmed in our study that MiR-485-5p is a direct target of PICSAR in HSFs. Additionally, inhibition of miR-485-5p reversed the effect of PICSAR knockdown in HSFs. LncRNA PICSAR binds to miR-485-5p and thereby activates TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, promoting the abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts and excessive deposition of ECM in hypertrophic scar formation.
