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

The histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) has been demonstrated to alleviate certain symptoms associated with osteoarthritis (OA). However, the exact mechanisms underlying this protective effect remain to be elucidated. The present study therefore examined the effects of TSA on the expression levels of interleukin‑1β (IL‑1β)-induced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to investigate alterations in mRNA expression levels in TSA-treated chondrocytes in the presence or absence of IL‑1β; in addition, protein expression and acetylation levels were assessed by western blotting. In vivo, TSA was administered to rats by intra‑articular injection, following which the mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed. In addition, macroscopic and histological observations were conducted. Chondrocytes treated with IL‑1β demonstrated increased mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP‑1, MMP‑3 and MMP-13, and decreased expression levels of TIMP‑1 mRNA and protein; these alterations were significantly attenuated by TSA treatment. In addition, increased MMPs and decreased TIMP‑1 expression levels were observed in vivo in the OA rat model. TSA treatment demonstrated in vivo efficacy through the attenuation of various OA‑associated molecular and physiological changes. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that TSA has potential therapeutic value for the treatment of OA.
