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

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the common valvular disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of CAVD. This study aims to investigate the role of NEAT1 in CAVD pathogenesis. NEAT1, miR-214-3p and mRNA expressions were determined by qRT-PCR. Protein expressions were detected by Western blotting. Mineralized bone matrix formation was assessed by Alizarin Red staining. The osteogenic phenotype was evaluated by the alkaline phosphatase activity assay. Dual-luciferase assays were employed to confirm the binding interactions between NEAT1 and miR-214-3p, miR-214-3p and PTEN. NEAT1 was up-regulated in calcific aortic valves and after osteogenic induction of valve interstitial cells (VICs). NEAT1 could act as a positive regulator of osteogenic differentiation by repressing miR-214-3p and thereby promote expression of osteoblast-specific markers. Mechanistically, we identified PTEN as a direct target of miR-214-3p. PTEN could regulate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and participate in osteogenic differentiation. Importantly, NEAT1 could directly interact with miR-214-3p and change of miR-214-3p expression could efficiently reverse PTEN expression and osteogenic differentiation induced by NEAT1. Thus, NEAT1 positively regulated PTEN expression and activated autophagy through sponging miR-214-3p, and promoted osteogenic differentiation through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, we elucidates the vital function of NEAT1 as a miRNA sponge in CAVD pathogenesis, and sheds new light on lncRNA-directed diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for CAVD.
