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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the role of long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in a heart failure (HF) model

methodsWe established HF models

resultsWe found that when LncRNA MIAT was silenced, vascular endothelial growth factor, phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt), and phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) mRNA and protein levels were significantly downregulated, which suggested that MIAT activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Akt and PI3K expression was not significantly changed. We also found that when LncRNA MIAT was silenced, collagen expression was significantly downregulated. This finding suggested that MIAT promoted myocardial fibrosis during the development of HF. The levels of inflammatory factors were also significantly reduced with silencing of LncRNA MIAT. This finding suggested that MIAT promoted the expression of inflammatory factors in myocardial fibrosis by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

conclusionThis study indicates that silencing LncRNA MIAT may improve myocardial fibrosis and alleviate HF through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which may be helpful for patients with HF to obtain a better therapeutic effect.
