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

backgroundExosomes are nanoscale vesicles secreted by various types of cells that are responsible for intracellular communication. Despite that bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) has been proven to involve in tumor development, more efforts are required to investigate the impact of BALF on pulmonary fibrosis (PF). This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of how exosomal miR-204-5p from BALF facilitates PF progression in rats.

methodsPF rat model was established by intratracheal injection of bleomycin. BALF-derived exosomes (Exo) were extracted from normal and PF rats. PF-Exo (BALF-derived Exo from PF rats) and miR-204-5p antagomir were injected into rats to investigate the effect of exosomal miR-204-5p on PF. Collagen content in lung tissues of rats was assessed by Masson staining, hydroxyproline (HYP) content assay and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Primary lung fibroblasts were isolated, and treated by TGF-β1. After co-transfection of PF-Exo, miR-204-5p inhibitor and sh-AP1S2, cell proliferation, levels of miR-204-5p, fibrotic markers α-SMA and collagen 1 (Col 1), and proteins of autophagy markers LC3II, LC3I and P62 were measured. The interaction between miR-204-5p and AP1S2 was determined by bioinformatics online software TargetScan and dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsmiR-204-5p was abundantly expressed in the PF-Exo group. PF-Exo injection potentiated PF progression and proliferation ability of lung fibroblasts

conclusionsExosomal miR-204-5p from BALF inhibits autophagy to promote the progression of PF rats by targeting AP1S2.
