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

Purpose: Airway remodeling is a significant pathological change of asthma. This study aimed to detect differentially expressed microRNAs in the serum of asthma patients and airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) of asthmatic mice, exploring their role in the airway remodeling of asthma. Methods: The differentially expressed microRNAs in the serum of mild and moderate-severe asthma patients compared to healthy subjects were revealed using the "limma" package. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was used to annotate the functions of microRNA target genes. The relative expressions of miR-107 (miR-107-3p in mice sharing the same sequence) in the primary airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) of the asthma mice model were tested by RT-qPCR. Cyclin-dependent kinases 6 (Cdk6), a target gene of miR-107, was predicted by algorithms and validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay and Western blot. The roles of miR-107, Cdk6, and protein Retinoblastoma (Rb) in ASMCs were examined by transwell assay and EDU KIT in vitro. Results: The expression of miR-107 was down-regulated in both mild and moderate-severe asthma patients. Intriguingly, the level of miR-107 was also decreased in ASMCs of the asthma mice model. Up-regulating miR-107 suppressed ASMCs' proliferation by targeting Cdk6 and the phosphorylation level of Rb. Increasing the expression of Cdk6 or suppressing Rb activity abrogated the proliferation inhibition effect of ASMCs induced by miR-107. In addition, miR-107 also inhibits ASMC migration by targeting Cdk6. Conclusion: The expression of miR-107 is down-regulated in serums of asthma patients and ASMCs of asthmatic mice. It plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and migration of ASMCs via targeting Cdk6.
