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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate various biological processes, including cell differentiation. Despite their potential, their role in promoting neuronal differentiation by targeting neuronal genes and modulating signaling pathways is poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the functions of miR-937-3p-, miR-4536-3p-, and miR-4650-5p-inhibitors in the neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells. We also aimed to determine the underlying mechanisms via qPCR, luciferase assay, immunocytochemistry, and western blotting analysis. Our findings confirmed that miRNAs participated in neuronal differentiation and regulated the Wnt/MAPK signaling pathway. Specifically, we identified Netrin1 (NTN1), Drebrin1 (DBN1), and Netrin-G1 (NTNG1) as target genes of miR-937-3p, miR-4536-3p, and miR-4650-5p, respectively. The treatment with the miRNA inhibitors increased the expression levels of neuronal markers such as TUBB3, NEFH, NEFM, NEFL, and MAP2. It also enhanced the protein expression levels of Wnt and MAPK signaling. Therefore, the inhibitors of miR-937-3p, miR-4536-3p, and miR-4650-5p could promote neuronal differentiation by targeting neuronal genes and activating the Wnt/MAPK signaling pathway.
