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

backgroundReduced angiogenesis is a key factor in impaired healing diabetic foot ulcers. It is critical to identifying the relevant genes that regulate angiogenesis or the relevant mechanisms that accelerate angiogenesis, which is essential for the treatment of Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).

methodsDirect targeting of miR-125a-5p to Glutathione S-Transferase M5 (GSTM5) was demonstrated by dual luciferase assays. MiR-125a-5p and GSTM5 were induced or silenced by HGM in endothelial cells in vitro, and the results were compared with a blank control to determine the mechanism of miR-125a-5p and GSTM5 expression levels on DFU.

resultsInitial analysis revealed distinct expression patterns of miR-125a-5p and GSTM5 between acute and chronic DFU patients. Their regulatory roles were investigated by comparing differential expression profiles in these two patient groups. We found that low expression of both in chronic DFU patients was positively correlated with changes in angiogenic markers. Inhibition of miR-125a-5p and GSTM5 in endothelial cells in vitro yielded the same results, demonstrating the promote angiogenesis of their expression on angiogenesis.

conclusionMiR-125a-5p promotes normal angiogenesis in diabetic foot ulcers by targeting GSTM5.
