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

aimTo explore the effect of co-host non-coding RNA (ncRNA) MIR503HG/miR-503-5p on the angiogenesis of pterygium.

methodsMIR503HG/miR-503-5p/fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) expression levels in pterygium tissues, control conjunctival tissues, and human pterygium fibroblasts (HPF) were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemical methods. Effects of MIR503HG/miR-503-5p on low molecular weight FGF2 (LWM FGF2), migration and angiogenesis of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMEC) were determined in an HPF and HRMEC co-culture model using Western blots, wound healing assay, Matrigel-based tube formation assay, and Transwell assay.

resultsMIR503HG/miR-503-5p/FGF2 pathway was actively increased in pterygium tissue and there was a negative correlation between the expression of the two ncRNAs. FGF2 expression level was positively correlated with MIR503HG and negatively correlated with miR-503-5p. Overexpressed MIR503HG/miR-503-5p did not affect the migration and angiogenesis of HRMECs cultured separately, but significantly affected migration and angiogenesis of HRMEC in HPF and HRMEC co-culture models. Western blotting revealed that MIR503HG/miR-503-5p overexpression significantly increased LMW FGF2 expression in HPF.

conclusionMIR503HG/miR-503-5p inhibits HRMEC migration and angiogenic function by interfering with the interaction between HPF and endothelial cells
