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

objectiveInactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome plays a role in reducing the permeability of endothelial cells and improving blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the mechanism controlling NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains unclear. This study is aimed at defining the role of miR-29a-5p in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and permeability of endothelial cells under TBI.

methodsThe scratch injury model on brain bEnd.3 microvascular endothelial cells was used as in vitro TBI model cells. Effects of miR-29a mimics and inhibitors on TBI model cells were observed by examining their action on FITC, TEER, and protein contents of ZO-1 and occludin, and cell permeability-associated protein. Luciferase reporter assay evaluated miR-29a-5p targeting to NLRP3. ELISA examined of IL-1

resultsmiR-29a-3p and miR-29a-5p mimics decrease the concentration of FITC, and increase TEER and the protein contents of ZO-1 and occludin in TBI model cells. miR-29a-5p silencing disrupted the permeability of mouse bEnd.3 cells. miR-29a-5p targets to NLRP3 through the binding on its 3'UTR and negatively regulates its expression in TBI model cells. NLRP3 inhibition and miR-29a-5p silencing together caused significantly decreased FITC concentration and increased TEER value and release of IL-1

conclusionsmiR-29a-5p mimics protect TBI-induced increased endothelial cell permeability and BBB dysfunction via suppressing NLRP3 expression and activation.
