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

MicroRNA-204-5p (miR-204-5p) is a critical regulator of differentiation, structural maintenance, and inflammation in limbal epithelial cells (LECs). This study examined the role of miR-204-5p in modulating the gene expression related to transcription factors, cell structure, extracellular matrix remodeling, and retinoic acid signaling under normal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory conditions. Using qPCR, we analyzed the mRNA levels of FOSL2, FOXC1, Meis2, PPARγ, ABCG2, PTGES2, IL-1β, IL-6, KRT3, KRT12, MMP2, MMP9, RARA, RARB, RXRA, RXRB, CRABP2, RBP1, RDH10, ADH7, ADH1A1, FABP5, CYP1B1, and CYP26A1, while changes in protein levels were assessed via Western blot or ELISA. Our data revealed that the overexpression of miR-204-5p reduced the mRNA levels of FOXC1, KRT12, and RDH10 under normal and inflammatory conditions (
