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

objectiveDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is the primary reason for blindness among the middle-aged and elderly. It can progress to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), a condition that is accompanied by retinal neovascularization as the disease worsens. Understanding the pathogenesis of PDR can facilitate the development of treatments. In this study, we aimed to investigate the involvement in the lncRNA MALAT1 (MALAT1)/miR-126-5p axis in modulating PDR progression.

methodsRat retinal endothelial cells (RECs) was induced with 30 mM glucose to build an

resultsIn high-glucose induced RECs, MALAT1 was up-regulated while miR-126-5p was down-regulated. The angiogenesis as well as the proliferation and migration capacities of high glucose-induced RECs were suppressed when MALAT1 was down-regulated or miR-126-5p was up-regulated, accompanied by reductions in VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP9. RNA immunoprecipitation assay confirmed that miR-126-5p could be enriched in MALAT1 sequences. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the targeted inhibition of miR-126-5p by MALAT1. Downregulating miR-126-5p counteracted the effect of MALAT1 downregulation on RECs induced by high glucose.

conclusionsMALAT1 promotes PDR by inhibiting miR126-5p and inducing REC proliferation, migration and angiogenesis.
