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

Evidence suggests that miR-146a is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases; however, the role of miR-146a in myocardial ischaemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the functional role of miR-146a in myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury and the underlying mechanism. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 45 min of ischaemia and 1 week of reperfusion to establish a myocardial I/R injury model. A miR-146a mimic (0.5 mg/kg) was administered intravenously at the beginning of the ischaemia process. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were also subjected to hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R). Cells were treated with the miR-146a mimic or antagonist. As a result, the miR-146a mimic attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, as evidenced by increased cell viability and reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. In addition, the miR-146a mimic inhibited oxidative stress in cells suffering from H/R injury. Moreover, the miR-146a antagonist exerted adverse effects in vitro. In mice with myocardial I/R injury, the miR-146a mimic preserved cardiac function and reduced the infarction area and fibrosis. Moreover, the miR-146a mimic decreased the inflammatory response and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in mouse hearts. Mechanistically, we found that miR-146a directly regulated the transcription of NOX4, which subsequently affected P38 signalling in cardiomyocytes. When we knocked down NOX4, the effects of the miR-146a antagonist in worsening the cell condition were counteracted in in vitro experiments. Taken together, the results suggest that miR-146a protects against myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting NOX4 signalling. The miR-146a mimic may become a potential therapeutic approach for patients with myocardial ischaemia reperfusion.
