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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase-1(ENPP-1) expression and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) of end-plate chondrocytes after stimulation with intermittent cyclic mechanical tension (ICMT) by using an FX-4000T Flexercell Tension Plus unit.

methodsRat end-plate chondrocytes were cultured and ICMT (strain at 0.5 Hz sinusoidal curve at 10% elongation) applied for 7 days for 4 h/day and cultured for a further 2 days. End-plate chondrocytes were also exposed to 10 ng/mL of TGF-β1. Then, using small interfering RNA technology, small interfering TGF-β1 (siTGF-β1) was transfected. Expression of ENPP-1 and TGF-β1 was measured by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting.

resultsExpression of both ENPP-1 and TGF-β1 was up-regulated after ICMT. Both RT-PCR and western blot showed that ENPP-1 expression decreases with siRNA TGF-β1 after 3% elongation 40 min, and cultured for an additional 2 days.

conclusionIt was found that down-regulation of ENPP-1 gene expression induced by ICMT is likely dependent on TGF-β1 in end-plate chondrocytes.
