Preliminary research on LncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 in neovascularization of diabetic retinopathy.

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
objectiveDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes, and recent findings have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be involved in its pathogenesis. Through bioinformatics analysis, we found that lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 may be involved in this process. This study primarily investigated the expression of the lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) under high-glucose conditions and its effects on HRMEC proliferation, migration, and neovascularization.
methodsWe used RT‒PCR to assess the expression levels of lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in HRMECs under normal glucose (5.5 mmol/L) and high glucose (30 mmol/L) conditions. HRMECs were subsequently divided into four groups: the normal glucose (NG), high glucose (HG), high glucose with lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 silencing (HG + si-lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2), and high glucose with silencing control (HG + si-NC) groups. The expression levels of the lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 and VEGF in each group were determined using RT‒PCR. Thereafter, cell proliferation, migration, and neovascularization were assessed using CCK-8, Transwell, and tube formation assays, respectively.
resultsRT‒PCR revealed that the expression levels of the lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 and VEGF were greater in the HG group than in the NG group (P < 0.05). After silencing of the lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2, the expression of VEGF decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Subsequent CCK-8, Transwell, and tube formation assays demonstrated that compared to those in the NG group, the HRMECs in the HG group exhibited significantly increased proliferation, migration, and neovascularization (P < 0.05). However, after silencing of the lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2, the proliferation, migration, and neovascularization of HRMECs were significantly decreased in the HG + si-lncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 group compared to those in the HG group (P < 0.05).
conclusionLncRNA ATP2B2-IT2 may promote the proliferation, migration and neovascularization of HRMECs under high-glucose conditions.
