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

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. This study aimed to explore roles of microRNA (miR)-122-5p in hypertension. Angiotensin II (Ang II; 1.5 mg/kg/day) with an osmotic minipump was used to induce hypertensive rats pretreated by rAAV-miR-122-5p or rAAV-GFP, respectively. Notably, Ang II infusion caused marked increases in myocardial fibrosis, inflammation, oncosis, and oxidant injury in rats, which were aggravated by rAAV-miR-122-5p. RAAV-miR-122-5p exacerbated Ang II-mediated cardiac dysfunction and structural injury in hypertensive rats, with downregulated levels of apelin, elabela, ACE2, and GDF15, as well as upregulated expression of porimin and CTGF. In cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts, Ang II contributed to augmentation of cellular oncosis, migration, inflammation, and oxidative stress, with reduction of apelin, elabela, ACE2, and GDF15 levels, which were rescued by miR-122 inhibitor. In summary, miR-122-5p exacerbates myocardial fibrosis and dysfunction in hypertensive rats by modulating the elabela/apelin-ACE2-GDF15 signaling. MiR-122-5p has potential therapeutic significance for hypertension and hypertensive cardiac injury.
