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

Background: The important role of SMAD6 and several microRNAs (miRNAs), such as miR-17-5p, miR-26b-5p, and miR-32-5p, has been demonstrated in controlling the proliferation and differentiation of cardiomyocytes (CMs). Hence, this study was designed to assess the role of these regulatory factors in cardiac cell generation from human endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hEMSCs). Methods: To induce transdifferentiation into CMs, hEMSCs were treated with a cardiac-inducing medium containing 5-azacytidine and bFGF for 30 days. Immunofluorescence staining and qRT-PCR, respectively, were used to measure the protein levels of SMAD6 and the mRNA expression of SMAD6 and the three miRNAs every six days. Results: Our findings demonstrated the mesenchymal stem cell properties of hEMSCs and their ability to differentiate into various types of mesenchymal stem cells. The differentiated hEMSCs exhibited morphological features resembling CMs. During the induction period, the number of positive cells for SMAD6 protein and the expression level of miR-26b-5p increased and peaking on days 24 and 30, while the expression levels of miR-17-5p and miR-32-5p decreased. The Pearson correlation coefficients revealed that SMAD6 level is inversely correlated with miR-17-5p and miR-32-5p and directly correlated with miR-26b-5p. Conclusions: Our results indicate that miR-17-5p, miR-26b-5p, miR-32-5p, and SMAD6 are potentially involved in the molecular signaling pathways of transdifferentiation of hEMSCs to CMs.
