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

Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) can cause ischemic stroke, and clinical intervention for CAS is critical clinically. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression changes of microRNA-486-5p in the serum of patients with CAS and its possible mechanism. Ninety-one cases with asymptomatic CAS were recruited, and serum levels of miR-486-5p were measured using RT-qPCR. The diagnostic ability was evaluated by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) to establish cell model, and cell proliferation and apoptosis were tested. The markers of cell inflammation and oxidative stress were detected via ELISA. The target gene was analyzed using bioinformatics analysis combined with luciferase reporting assay. CAS cases exhibited significantly low serum miR-486-5p levels in comparison with the control group and can identify asymptomatic CAS. Serum miR-486-5p manifested a negative correlation with the degree of carotid stenosis. Underexpression of miR-486-5p was also detected in ox-LDL treated HAECs. OxLDL treatment contributes to inflammatory response and oxidative stress of HAECs; however, these adverse impacts caused by ox-LDL were reversed by miR-486-5p upregulation. NFAT5 was confirmed to be the target gene of miR-486-5p in HAECs. MiR-486-5p serves as a promising biomarker for the early identification of CAS. Overexpression of miR-486-5p can prevent endothelial dysfunction, and the mechanism might be related to anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation via targeting NFAT5.
