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

backgroundThis work focused on exploring the regulatory effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-ANRIL/miR-34a on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblasts (FLS), aiming to provide experimental support for clinical treatment of RA.

methodsThe pcDNA, pcDNA-ANRIL, antagomiRNA, antagomiR-34a, pcDNA-ANRIL, agomiRNA, pcDNA-ANRIL, and agomiR-34a were transfected into MH7A cells using liposomes. M1 macrophages and MH7A cells were co-cultured in Transwell, and the proliferation of MH7A cells at different time points was observed using crystal violet staining (CVS). The effect of M1 macrophages on the proliferation of MH7A cells was detected by MTS method. The expressions of ANRIL and miR-34a in MH7A cells were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The protein expressions of Caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax were detected by Western blotting (WB).

resultsCompared with the HFLS group, the ANRIL in the MH7A group was increased (P < 0.05). After overexpression of ANRIL, the apoptosis rate (AR) of MH7A cells was markedly decreased, the expressions of Caspase-3 and Bax decreased, and the expressions of Bcl-2 increased (all P < 0.05). MH7A cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in M1 macrophage co-cultures. Following miR-34a inhibition, MH7A cells exhibited an anti-apoptotic effect comparable to that observed with ANRIL overexpression.

conclusionM1 macrophages in RA joint synovial tissue could inhibit the proliferation of MH7A cells. LncRNA-ANRIL was highly expressed in RA synovial cells (SCs) and could inhibit the apoptosis of RA SCs, which was correlated with targeting miR-34a, inhibiting apoptosis in anti-RA SCs. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
