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

The present study investigated the effects of dexmedetomidine on the expression level of microRNA-320 (miR-320) and neuroglobin (NGB) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). A total of 40 patients undergoing OPCABG were recruited and randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine and normal saline groups (treated before anesthesia), respectively. The NGB levels in the blood samples before and after surgery were analyzed and compared. The CATH.a cells were cultured and induced with dexmedetomidine, and the NGB expression level was detected. CATH.a cells were treated with NGB and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the cell survival rate was determined. The miR-320 expression levels in the blood samples and dexmedetomidine-induced cells were detected. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed. Compared with control subjects, patients in the dexmedetomidine group had higher NGB levels in the blood. In the CATH.a cells, the dexmedetomidine treatment upregulated the NGB levels. Moreover, upon pre-incubation with NGB and LPS stimulation, dexmedetomidine elevated cell viability. Furthermore, miR-320 expression levels were significantly downregulated in the blood of patients in the dexmedetomidine group, as well as in the dexmedetomidine-induced cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miRNA-320a directly targeted on NGB, and upregulated miRNA-320a in CATH.a cells decreased cell proliferation activity. Pre-administration of dexmedetomidine can decrease miR-320 expression level in the blood of patients undergoing OPCABG, stimulating the high expression of NGB and increasing the proliferation activity of neuronal cells, which may decrease the postoperative cognitive impairment.
