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

A reciprocal relationships between osteogenesis and adipogenesis has been observed in vitro and in vivo, and mechanical stretch has been believed to be a regulating factor of osteo-adipogenic axis differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, rat adipose stem cells (ASCs) were isolated and cultured in adipogenic or normal medium. Their exposure to cyclic mechanical stretch (2000 με, 1 Hz) in the presence of adipogenic medium decreased mRNA and protein level of PPAR-γ, and increased Runx2 mRNA and protein levels as well as Pref-1 mRNA level, compared to static samples. ASCs cultured in normal medium without adipogenic induction did not show any significant change in mRNA expression of PPAR-γ, Runx2, nor Pref-1 irrespective of mechanical loading. Stretching induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) during the induction period. It was concluded that mechanical stretch inhibited adipogenesis and stimulated osteogenesis of these ASCs in the presence of adipogenic medium and that ERK1/2 activation may be involved in the mechanical stress-induced trans-differentiation.
