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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic disease resulting in neuronal injury. circRNAs are closely associated with human diseases. Nevertheless, the potential mechanism by which circRNAs impact SCI remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory roles of Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in SCI. The SCI mouse model and integrated bioinformatics analysis were used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to study the related pathways. The circRNA-mediated ceRNA network and subnetwork was constructed based on circMir, TargetScan and miRanda. qRT-PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry, and luciferase reporter assays were carried out to validate the role of circ_0014637 (circ-Usp10) and microRNA(miR)-152-5p /CD84 in microglia. In all, 23 DE-circRNAs, 127 DE-miRNAs and 1327 DE-mRNAs were identified. We integrated these DEGs to construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. The circ-Usp10/miR-152-5p/CD84 axis was found to function in microglial activation. We also found that circ-Usp10 inhibited the secretion of proinflammatory factors in microglial BV2 cells. In addition, silencing circ-Usp10 significantly reduced the death of the neuronal cell line HT22. Taken together, we concluded that circ-Usp10 may function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to promote microglial activation and induce neuronal death by targeting miR-152-5p/CD84. The circ-Usp10 may be a diagnostic biomarker and potential target for SCI therapy.
