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 atherosclerosis (CAS) is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated as novel biomarkers in coronary artery disease (CAD). APOA1 antisense RNA (APOA1-AS) was proven to show high expression during atherosclerotic development, but no report has uncovered the detailed mechanism of APOA1-AS in CAS. Thus, this paper aims to explore the role of APOA1-AS in CAS. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to mimic atherosclerosis-like injury. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis analyzed gene expression. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing assay, and flow cytometry were implemented to assess the function of APOA1-AS in modulating pathological phenotype of VSMCs. Results demonstrated that APOA1-AS was notably up-regulated in ox-LDL treated VSMCs (ox-LDL-VSMCs). The deficiency of APOA1-AS hindered proliferation and migration and stimulated apoptosis in ox-LDL-VSMCs. Mechanistically, APOA1-AS recruited TATA-box binding protein associated factor 15 (TAF15) protein to stabilized SMAD family member 3 (SMAD3) mRNA and activate the TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling pathway. In conclusion, APOA1-AS contributed to proliferation and migration and repressed apoptosis of VSMCs through TAF15-mediated SMAD3 mRNA stabilization, indicating that APOA1-AS could be a promising target for CAS.
