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

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) triggers a robust inflammatory response in which macrophage polarization critically influences cardiac repair, yet the regulatory role of microRNAs remains largely undefined. Through integrated analysis of GEO datasets and experimental validation in hypoxic Raw264.7 cells and a mouse AMI model, we identified that miR-378a-3p is significantly downregulated following ischemic injury. Administration of miR-378a-3p mimics in vitro or miR-378a-3p agomir in vivo suppressed M1 macrophage polarization, attenuated inflammatory cytokine production, and markedly improved cardiac function and remodeling after AMI. Mechanistically, miR-378a-3p directly bound the 3'UTR of Trem1 mRNA, and Trem1 overexpression reversed the anti-inflammatory effects of miR-378a-3p, confirming Trem1 as a functional target. This study unveils the miR-378a-3p/Trem1 axis as a critical regulator of post-infarction inflammation and identifies miR-378a-3p as a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating acute cardiac injury and improving outcomes in AMI patients.
