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

objectiveMiRNAs have been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. This study aimed to investigate the miRNA expression profiles in the early stages after lung transplantation (LT) and to study the involvement of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in lung IR injury following LT.

methodsWe established the left LT model in mice and selected the miRNA-122 as a research target. The mice were injected with a miRNA-122-specific inhibitor, following which pathological changes in the lung tissue were studied using different lung injury indicators. In addition, we performed deep sequencing of transplanted lung tissues to identify differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and their target genes. These target genes were used to further perform gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis.

resultsA total of 12 DE miRNAs were selected, and 2476 target genes were identified. The GO enrichment analysis predicted 6063 terms, and the KEGG analysis predicted 1554 biological pathways. Compared with the control group, inhibiting the expression of miRNA-122 significantly reduced the lung injury and lung wet/dry ratio (P<0.05). In addition, the activity of myeloperoxidase and the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and TLR2/4 were decreased (P<0.05); whereas the expression of interleukin-10 was increased (P<0.05). Furthermore, the inhibition of miRNA-122 suppressed the IR injury-induced activation of the TLR signaling pathway.

conclusionOur findings showed the differential expression of several miRNAs in the early inflammatory response following LT. Of these, miRNA-122 promoted IR injury following LT, whereas its inhibition prevented IR injury in a TLR-dependent manner.
