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 non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a vital role in human inflammatory diseases. Our study aimed to investigate the function of lncRNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in otitis media with effusion (OME). The mRNA levels of NEAT1 and miR-495 were measured by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of p38 MAPK were detected by western blot. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were examined by ELISA. CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays were used to evaluate the cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. The interaction between NEAT1 and miR-495 was determined by luciferase reporter and RIP assays. NEAT1 was highly expressed in OME, and silencing of NEAT1 facilitated the cell proliferation and suppressed levels of inflammatory cytokines and cell apoptosis in LPS-induced HMEECs. Moreover, miR-495 was confirmed as a downstream target of NEAT1. Functional assays revealed that NEAT1 promoted the OME by targeting miR-495. It was further demonstrated that NEAT1 could activate the p38 MAPK signaling pathway by regulating miR-495, and the p38 MAPK inhibitor restored the effects of NEAT1 overexpression on the inflammation levels, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Our study revealed that lncRNA NEAT1 served as a ceRNA to activate p38 MAPK signaling by targeting miR-495 in OME, which may offer a new target for OME treatment.
