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

Gout can affect the quality of life of patients due to monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals. Numerous studies have proposed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gout. We aimed to reveal the function of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8) in acute gouty arthritis (GA). A GA mouse model was established by injection of MSU into footpads. The levels of SNHG8, miR-542-3p and adaptor-related protein complex 3 subunit delta 1 (AP3D1) in footpads were detected via polymerase chain reaction analysis. Hematoxylin-eosin staining revealed the paw swelling in mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot analysis were applied to determine the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines. SNHG8 expression was identified to be upregulated after MSU treatment. Ablation of SNHG8 decreased the MSU-induced enhancement of paw swelling and foot thickness. In addition, SNHG8 depletion decreased the protein levels of proinflammatory factors in GA mice. Mechanically, SNHG8 was verified to be a sponge of miR-542-3p, and miR-542-3p targeted AP3D1 3' untranslated region. SNHG8 competitively bound with miR-542-3p to upregulate AP3D1 expression. Finally, results of rescue assays illustrated that AP3D1 upregulation offset the SNHG8-mediated inhibition on paw swelling and protein levels of proinflammatory factors in GA mice. In conclusion, SNHG8 accelerates acute GA development by upregulating AP3D1 in an miR-542-3p-dependent way in mice, providing an effective therapeutic approach to treat acute GA.
