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

backgroundwe previously demonstrated the presence of high levels of thyroid hormones (THs) receptors isoforms in healthy tendons, their protective action during tenocyte apoptosis, and the capability to enhance tenocyte proliferation in vitro. In the present study we tested the ability of THs to influence ECM protein tenocyte secretion in an in vitro system.

methodsprimary tenocyte-like cells were cultivated for 1, 7 and 14 days in the presence of T3 or T4 individually or in combination with ascorbic acid (AA).

resultsTHs (T3 or T4) in synergism with AA increase significantly the total collagen production after 14 days. THs in synergism with AA increase significantly the expression of collagen I,biglycan and COMP, after some days.

conclusionTHs play a role on the extra cellular matrix of tendons, enhancing in vitro the production of several proteins such as collagen I, biglycan and COMP. THs receptors are active on human tenocytes, and can play a role in tendon ailments.
