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

purposeAbnormal growth of vertebral growth plate (VGP) was considered as one of the etiologic factors in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Previous studies described that estrogen played an important role in the pathogenesis of AIS. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of estrogen/estrogen receptor axis on mouse VGP chondrocytes in vitro.

methodsChondrocytes were isolated from mouse VGP and treated with or without 17β-estradiol (E2). Cell proliferation was measured by the cell growth rate assay. Gene expression of collagen type II and aggrecan were evaluated by real-time PCR. Expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Sox9, and Smad4 were detected by Western blotting.

resultsEstradiol inhibited the proliferation of VGP chondrocytes and the gene expression of collagen type II and aggrecan and downregulated the protein expression of PCNA, Sox9, and Smad4. In addition, the inhibitory effect of estradiol was reversed by ERβ small interfering RNA (siRNA) or PHTPP, an ERβ antagonist.

conclusionsEstradiol via estrogen/estrogen receptor β axis inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of VGP chondrocytes, which might give some new insight into the regulatory mechanism of bone development.
