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

Objective: A large amount of evidence shows that the abnormal expression of miRNA plays an important role in the development of depression. Therefore, we investigated the effect of miR-124-3p on neuronal damage in the hippocampus of depression rats. Methods: The target genes of miR-124-3p were predicted by the database; the depression model was prepared by subcutaneous injection of corticosterone (CORT), and LV-miR-124-3p asponge lentiviral suspension was given to determine the weight of rats and open-field test, sugar preference experiment, Serum CORT, 5-HT, DA, and NE were measured, observe and record the behavior of rats, including behavior, diet, and hair. The expression of miR-124-3p, STAT3, Bcl-2, and Bax in rat hippocampus was measured. The rat hippocampal neuron cells were extracted and transfected with miR-124-3p inhibitor; the cells were cultured with CORT, and the cell survival rate was evaluated by MTT experiment, and the expressions of miR-124-3p, STAT3, Bcl-2, and Bax in the cells were detected. Luciferase reporter gene verifies the targeted regulation of miR-124-3p on STAT3. Results: Compared with depression rats, silencing miR-124-3p increased the weight of the rats, increased the number of open-field activities, and significantly improved the general state and pathological state of the rats. The sugar water preference rate was significantly increased, the CORT content in the serum of rats decreased significantly, and the levels of 5-HT, DA, and NE increased significantly. After the treatment of silencing miR-124-3p, the expression level of miR-124-3p was decreased, while the STAT3 mRNA and protein expression levels were increased. And the protein and mRNA expression levels of Bcl-2 were increased, and the Bax protein and mRNA expression were decreased. Cell experiments verified that silencing miR-124-3p increased cell survival, the expression level of miR-124-3p decreased remarkably, while the expression levels of STAT3 mRNA and protein increased significantly. Silencing miR-124-3p reversed the effects of CORT treatment on miR-124-3p and STAT3 in neuronal cells. The luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-124-3p targets and regulates STAT3 expression. Conclusion: Silencing miR-124-3p may protect hippocampal neurons from damage in depression rats by upregulating STAT3 gene.
