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

Pathological growth of cardiomyocytes known as cardiac hypertrophy (CH). Differential expressions of miRNAs have an immense therapeutic potential against cardiac hypertrophy. The current study aim is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of miRNA-137-3p/383-5p in cardiac hypertrophy by regulation of PGC-1α signaling nexus. Silencing of pro-hypertrophic miRNAs e.g. miR-137-3p and miR-383-5p leads to the restoration of their common target gene PGC-1α in hypertrophic cells. Interestingly, the results of this invivo study showed the cardioprotective effects of these antagomirs. Moreover, PGC-1α associated signaling events e.g. fatty acid oxidation (Cpt1a, Cpt1b), mitochondria membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), oxidative phosphorylation (Ndufa6, Atp5me), apoptosis (Bcl-2, BAX), antioxidants (SOD, GSH, CAT), mitochondrial dynamic (Mfn-2, Drp-1) were significantly restored in the treated groups of miRNA antagomirs. Conclusively, this study uncovers that the pharmacological inhibition of miR-137-3p and miR-383-5p have a potential to rescue from the cardiac hypertrophy by regulation of PGC-1α signaling nexus.
