CircNMD3 relieves endothelial cell injury induced by oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein through regulating miR-498/ BMP and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) axis.
Article in Bioengineered, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the most common vascular diseases. The endothelial injury theory indicates that atherosclerotic plaque is the result of endothelial cell injury. Recent studies have revealed that circRNAs are abnormally expressed in AS cell models, which are implicated in the regulation of various cell behaviors. In this study, we showed the downregulation of circNMD3 in AS, and studied its role in the model of endothelial cell injury by proliferation and apoptosis assay, caspase 3 activity assay, and ELISA. We also identified and validated its downstream targets by luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down experiment, Western blot, and RT-qPCR. CircNMD3 overexpression or miR-498 knockdown could inhibit the ox-LDL (oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein)-induced injury in HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells), while the co-transfection of miR-498 mimic or siRNA targeting BAMBI (BMP and activin membrane bound inhibitor) attenuated the protective effect of circNMD3 overexpression. Overall, our data suggest that circNMD3 regulates the miR-498/BAMBI axis in endothelial cells to protect ox-LDL-induced damages. As a molecular sponge of miR-498, circNMD3 regulates the level of miR-498, which in turn modulates BAMBI expression and suppresses ox-LDL-induced injury in HUVECs.
