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

During the initial stage of liver regeneration (LR), hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) initiate regeneration in a hypoxic environment. However, the role of LSECs in liver regeneration in hypoxic environments and their specific molecular mechanism is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the miRNA-mRNA network that regulates the proliferation of LSECs during hypoxia. In this study, first, we found that the proliferation ability of primary LSECs treated with hypoxia was enhanced compared with the control group, and then whole transcriptome sequencing was performed to screen 1837 differentially expressed (DE) genes and 17 DE miRNAs. Subsequently, the bioinformatics method was used to predict the target genes of miRNAs, and 309 pairs of interacting miRNA-mRNA pairs were obtained. Furthermore, the miRNA-gene action network was established using the negative interacting miRNA-mRNA pairs. The selected mRNAs were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, and biological processes (BP) and signal pathways related to LSEC proliferation that were significantly enriched in GO-BP and KEGG were selected. Finally, 22 DE genes and 17 DE miRNAs were screened and the network was created. We also successfully verified the significant changes in the top six genes and miRNAs using qRT-PCR, and the results were consistent with the sequencing results. This study proposed that a specific miRNA-mRNA network is associated with hypoxia-induced proliferation of LSECs, which will assist in elucidating the potential mechanisms involved in hypoxia-promoting liver regeneration during LR.
