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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in many pathophysiological processes after traumatic brain injury by mediating neuroinflammation and apoptosis. Homeobox A11 antisense RNA (HOXA11-AS) is a member of the lncRNA family that has been reported to participate in many inflammatory reactions; however, its role in traumatic brain injury remains unclear. In this study, we established rat models of traumatic brain injury using a weight-drop hitting device and injected LV-HOXA11-AS into the right lateral ventricle 2 weeks before modeling. The results revealed that overexpression of HOXA11-AS aggravated neurological deficits in traumatic brain injury rats, increased brain edema and apoptosis, promoted the secretion of proinflammatory factors interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α, and promoted the activation of astrocytes and microglia. Microglia were treated with 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide for 24 hours to establish in vitro cell models, and then transfected with pcDNA-HOXA11-AS, miR-124-3p mimic, or sh-MDK. The results revealed that HOXA11-AS inhibited miR-124-3p expression and boosted MDK expression and TLR4-nuclear factor-κB pathway activation. Furthermore, lipopolysaccharide enhanced potent microglia-induced inflammatory responses in astrocytes. Forced overexpression of miR-124-3p or downregulating MDK repressed microglial activation and the inflammatory response of astrocytes. However, the miR-124-3p-mediated anti-inflammatory effects were reversed by HOXA11-AS. These findings suggest that HOXA11-AS can aggravate neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury by modulating the miR-124-3p-MDK axis. This study was approved by the Animal Protection and Use Committee of Southwest Medical University (approval No. SMU-2019-042) on February 4, 2019.
