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

backgroundFibrosis in the ventricular system is closely associated with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). It is characterized by an expansion of the cerebral ventricles due to CSF accumulation following intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). The activation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) may be involved in thrombin-induced arachnoid fibrosis.

methodsA rat model of PHH was established by injection of autologous non-anticoagulated blood from the right femoral artery into the lateral ventricles. Differential expression of miR-30a was detected in rat arachnoid cells by RNA sequencing. AP-1, c-Fos, and TRAF3IP2 were knocked down in primary arachnoid cells, and the degree of arachnoid fibrosis was assessed.

resultsDecreased expression of miR-30a and increased expression of TRAF3IP2, TGF-β1, and α-SMA were detected in the arachnoid cells of PHH rat. Besides, overexpression of miR-30a targets TRAF3IP2 mRNA 3'UTR and inhibits the expression of TRAF3IP2, TGF-β1, and α-SMA in the primary arachnoid cells. Furthermore, TRAF3IP2 activates AP-1 to promote arachnoid fibrosis. The content of type I collagen in the primary arachnoid cells was reduced after the silencing of AP-1 and TRAF3IP2.

conclusionsThis study identified a miR-30a-regulated mechanism of arachnoid fibrosis, suggesting a previously unrecognized contribution of miR-30a to the pathogenesis of fibrosis in the ventricular system. These results might provide a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PHH.
