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

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in the pathogenesis of microvascular dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy (DR). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as crucial regulators in many biological process and human diseases. Herein, to investigate the expression profile and possible role of miRNAs in EPCs, small RNA sequencing was conducted to identify EPC dysfunction-related miRNAs in DR. A total of 72 miRNAs were differentially expressed in EPCs following high glucose stress. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were targeted to "protein binding," "cell differentiation," and "cytoskeleton." Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that cGMP-PKG signaling pathway was tightly associated with miRNA-mediated EPC function. Furthermore, miR-375-3p was verified to be up-regulated in the clinical samples of DR patients. Inhibition of miR-375-3p protected against hyperglycemic stress- or hypoxic stress-induced EPC injury, which increased the viability, proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of EPCs and retarded the development of apoptosis. Collectively, this study provides a novel insight into the pathogenesis of EPC dysfunction in DR. miR-375-3p is a potential target for the diagnosis or treatment of DR.
