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

purposeThis study aimed to explore the effects of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 7 (USP7) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the negative regulation of USP7 by microRNA-409-5p (miR-409-5p).

methodsClinical data were collected from patients admitted to the Cardiology Department of Yan'an Hospital of Kunming City between July 2020 and July 2021. The participants included patients with AMI (AMI; n = 30), stable angina pectoris (SAP; n = 30), and chest pain syndrome (CPS; n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 30). The expression levels of miR-409-5p and USP7 were analysed using Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR) and Western blotting (WB). Finally, a dual-luciferase assay was performed to verify the interaction between miR-409-5p and USP7.

resultsThe expression level of miR-409-5p was significantly lower (all p < 0.05), whereas the expression level of USP7 was elevated in patients with AMI compared with those in the other three groups (all p < 0.05). A dual-luciferase assay demonstrated that miR-409-5p binds to USP7 3'UTP to inhibit luciferase expression. Compared with cells transfected with mutation fragments and a luciferase reporter vector with microRNA-409-5p mimics and USP7 3'UTR binding and mutation sites, the luminescence level of cells with miR-409-5p was approximately 40% lower. Additionally, miRNA-409-5p was inversely correlated with cTnI (p = 0.004).

conclusionUSP7 plays a significant role in AMI via negative regulation by miR-409-5p. Both miR-409-5p and USP7 hold key potential as early diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AMI in the future.
