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

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have several features that make them an attractive option for potentiating cartilage repair. Synovium-derived (SMSCs) have been recently recognized as an excellent source. SRY-related HMG-box (Sox) family plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. However, the role of Sox4 in human SMSCs remains elusive. In the present study, we investigated the role of Sox4 in SMSCs through gain-of-function studies and found that Sox4 promoted cell proliferation and chondrogenesis. Furthermore, Sox4 could directly bind to the promoter of long noncoding RNA DANCR and increased its expression. Finally, knockdown of DANCR could reverse the stimulative effect of Sox4 on the proliferation and chondrogenesis of SMSCs. Taken together, our data highlights the pivotal role of Sox4 in the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs.
