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

objectiveNumerous studies have confirmed the correlation of microRNAs (miRNAs) with human disease, yet few have explored the role of miR-135 in preeclampsia (PE). This study intends to discuss miR-135's function in inflammatory response in PE by modulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-6 (PCSK6) and NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3).

methodsThe venous blood and placental tissues were collected from PE pregnant women and 25 normal ones. The levels of miR-135, PCSK6 and NLRP3 in placenta tissues of patients were detected. Hypoxia/reoxygenation HTR-8/SVneo and HPT-8 models were established to mimic PE in vitro, and cell proliferation, colony formation, apoptosis rate, invasion, migration and inflammation were detected through gain-of and loss-of-function assays.

resultsMiR-135 was down-regulated, and PCSK6 and NLRP3 were up-regulated in PE patients. Up-regulating miR-135 or silencing PCSK6 strengthened colony formation ability, viability, invasion and migration ability, and weakened apoptosis and inflammation of H/R-treated HTR-8/SVneo and HPT-8 cells. Inhibition of NLRP3 negated the effects of silenced PCSK6 in H/R-treated HTR-8/SVneo and HPT-8 cells.

conclusionsAltogether, we demonstrate that up-regulated miR-135 or reduced PCSK6 attenuates inflammatory response in PE by restricting NLRP3 inflammasome, which provides novel therapy for PE treatment.
