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

backgroundAtherosclerosis (AS) is a common inflammatory cardiovascular disease, and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are associated with the pathogenesis of AS. CircRNA Interleukin (IL)-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (circIRAK1, hsa_circ_0091822) was upregulated in AS. The aims of this study were to ascertain the function and mechanism of circIRAK1 in AS.

methodsHuman Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). RNA expression was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Cell viability was examined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Tube formation ability was measured by tube formation assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry. Western blot was used for protein detection. Inflammatory reaction was evaluated via Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Oxidative injury was analyzed by commercial kits. Target binding was determined through dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and pull-down assay.

resultsThe expression of circIRAK1 was upregulated in AS serums and ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. Silencing circIRAK1 enhanced cell viability and angiogenesis while suppressed cell apoptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative stress in ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs. CircIRAK1 served as a molecular sponge for miR-330-5p. CircIRAK1 regulated ox-LDL-mediated cell injury by absorbing miR-330-5p. In addition, miR-330-5p prevented endothelial cell dysfunction caused by ox-LDL via targeting tripartite motif containing 14 (TRIM14). TRIM14 expression was upregulated by circIRAK1 through sponging miR-330-5p.

conclusionThese results suggested that circIRAK1 upregulated TRIM14 by interacting with miR-330-5p, consequently contributing to ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury in AS.
