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

Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is a ligand of Tie-2 receptors that promotes angiogenesis. It has been established that regulatory loops exist between angiogenic growth factors and distinct pro or anti-angiogenic miRNAs, but the nature and the roles of Ang-1-regulated miRNAs remain unclear. In this study, we assessed the role of miR-640 in Ang-1-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Exposure to Ang-1 (300 ng/mL) from 6 to 72 h significantly decreased expression of mature miR-640, a response that was mediated by Tie-2 receptors and was also observed in response to Ang-2, the vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor β. Increasing miR-640 levels using a mimic inhibited Ang-1-induced cell migration and capillary-like tube formation whereas inhibition of miR-640 enhanced these responses. Pull down assays of biotinylated miR-640 revealed that miR-640 directly targets Zinc Finger Protein 91 (ZFP91), an atypical E3-ubiquitin ligase. Ang-1 exposure induced ZFP91 expression through down-regulation of miR-640. Silencing of ZFP91 significantly inhibited Ang-1-induced cell migration and tube formation. We conclude that Ang-1 upregulates ZFP91 expression through transcriptional down-regulation of miR-640 and that ZFP91 plays important roles in the promotion of Ang-1-induced endothelial cell migration and differentiation.
