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

aimsTo investigate the effects of caspase-3 silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under hypoxia.

methodsRat bone marrow MSCs were transfected with a recombinant shRNA lentivirus targeting caspase-3 expression. Protein expression of caspase-3 was measured by western blotting. Cell proliferation was measured with MTS, and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The apoptosis rate was measured at various time points under hypoxia. Apoptotic morphology was assessed by Hoechst 33258 staining. mRNA levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax were measured by real-time PCR.

resultsWestern blotting showed that the rat MSCs were stably transfected with the shRNA targeting caspase-3 by a significant reduction of caspase-3 expression. Silencing of caspase-3 expression resulted in a significant increase of MSC proliferation (P < 0.05), an increase of cells in S-phase (52.66 ± 0.30%), and a significant decrease of apoptotic MSCs (P < 0.05). These effects exhibited a slow increase during hypoxic culture. Furthermore, caspase-3 silencing significantly down-regulated mRNA expression of caspase-3 (P < 0.01) and Bax (P < 0.01), and up-regulated Bcl-2 mRNA expression (p < 0.01), thereby increasing the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05).

conclusionCaspase-3 silencing modulates the cell cycle of MSCs, promotes cell proliferation, and enhances the anti-apoptotic capacity of MSCs under hypoxia in vitro.
