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

This study was dedicated to investigating the effects of microRNA-128-3p (miR-128-3p) on neuronal apoptosis and neurobehavior in cerebral palsy (CP) rats via the Smurf2/YY1 axis.In vivo modeling of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) CP was established in neonatal rats. Neurobehavioral tests (geotaxis reflex, cliff avoidance reaction, and grip test) were measured after HI induction. The HI-induced neurological injury was evaluated by HE staining, Nissl staining, TUNEL staining, immunohistochemical staining, and RT-qPCR. The expression of miR-128-3p, Smurf2, and YY1 was determined by RT-qPCR and western blot techniques. Moreover, primary cortical neurons were used to establish the oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model in vitro, cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay, neuronal apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and western blot, and the underlying mechanism between miR-128-3p, Smurf2 and YY1 was verified by bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase reporter assay, RIP, Co-IP, ubiquitination assay, western blot, and RT-qPCR.In vivo, miR-128-3p and YY1 expression was elevated, and Smurf2 expression was decreased in brain tissues of hypoxic-ischemic CP rats. Downregulation of miR-128-3p or overexpression of Smurf2 improved neurobehavioral performance, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and elevated Nestin and NGF expression in hypoxic-ischemic CP rats, and downregulation of Smurf2 reversed the effects of downregulation of miR-128-3p on neurobehavioral performance, neuronal apoptosis, and Nestin and NGF expression in hypoxic-ischemic CP rats, while overexpression of YY1 reversed the effects of Smurf2 on neurobehavioral performance, neuronal apoptosis, and Nestin and NGF expression in hypoxic-ischemic CP rats. In vitro, downregulation of miR-128-3p effectively promoted the neuronal survival, reduced the apoptosis rate, and decreased caspase3 protein expression after OGD, and overexpression of YY1 reversed the ameliorative effect of downregulation of miR-128-3p on OGD-induced neuronal injury. miR-128-3p targeted to suppress Smurf2 to lower YY1 ubiquitination degradation and decrease its expression.Inhibition of miR-128-3p improves neuronal apoptosis and neurobehavioral changes in hypoxic-ischemic CP rats by promoting Smurf2 to promote YY1 ubiquitination degradation and reduce YY1 expression.
