Involvement of long non-coding RNA ZNF503 antisense RNA 1 in diabetic retinopathy and its possible underlying mechanism.
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 It has been retracted, and should not be counted.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
ZNF503 antisense RNA 1 (ZNF503-AS1) is a newly identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that regulates retinal pigment epithelium differentiation. To study its role in diabetic retinopathy, we performed RT-qPCR to measure plasma ZNF503-AS1 levels of 298 diabetic patients immediately after the diagnosis, during the follow-up, and at the end of follow-up. Plasma lncRNA ZNF503-AS1 expression in 96 healthy participants was also detected by RT-qPCR. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) expression after ZNF503-AS1 overexpression was detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by cell proliferation and apoptosis assays, respectively. We found that ZNF503-AS1 was not differentially expressed in healthy participants and diabetic patients. High plasma lncRNA ZNF503-AS1 level was correlated with a high incidence of diabetic retinopathy. Plasma lncRNA ZNF503-AS1 level was higher in patients with diabetic retinopathy than in patients with other complications (p < 0.05). ZNF503-AS1 overexpression inhibited proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and upregulated TGF-β1 expression (p < 0.05). We concluded that ZNF503-AS1 might participate in diabetic retinopathy by activating TGF-β signaling.
