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

backgroundRetinal neovascularization, which is characterized by the increased proliferation, migration, and tube formation of retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMECs), contributes to the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). MiR-409-5p has been reported to be upregulated in peripheral blood of DR patients and in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced RMECs. However, the role of miR-409-5p in retinal neovascularization of DR remains unelucidated.

methodThe expression of miR-409-5p was measured in retinal tissues of streptozocin-induced and db/db diabetic mice, in high glucose-induced mouse RMECs (mRMECs), and in vitreous fluid of proliferative DR patients. Antagomir of miR-409-5p was intravitreally injected into diabetic mice. Proliferation, migration, and tube formation were detected using cell counting kit-8 assay, transwell assay, and microscope observation, respectively. Luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the direct interaction between miR-409-5p and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα).

resultMiR-409-5p was upregulated in retinal tissues of diabetic mice, in high glucose-induced mRMECs, and in vitreous fluid of proliferative DR patients. The knockdown of miR-409-5p attenuated retinal neovascularization

conclusionOur findings demonstrated that miR-409-5p acted as a neovasculogenic factor in DR, and anti-miR-409-5p therapy may provide a novel strategy in treating DR.
