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

objectiveTo investigate the role of microRNA-145 (miR-145) in steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SINFH) by evaluating its effects on the OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway.

methodsA rat model of SINFH was constructed via injection of the lentiviral vector pLV-shRNA-miR-145. Pathological observation was performed via tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and serum OPG levels were detected by ELISA. The mRNA expression levels of miR-145, OPG, RANK and RANKL in THP-1 cells were assessed by RT-PCR, and the protein expression levels of OPG, RANK and RANKL were assessed by western blotting.

resultsThe expression of miR-145 in the lentivirus-mediated miR-145 group was significantly up-regulated compared with that in the control and normal groups (both P < 0.01). Serum OPG levels were decreased in SINFH rats compared with control and normal rats. The mRNA and protein expression levels of OPG in THP-1 cells decreased after transfection (all P < 0.05). By contrast, the mRNA and protein expression levels of RANK and RANKL in THP-1 cells increased after transfection (all P < 0.05). After transfection of 293T cells with an miR-145 overexpression vector, miR-145 expression in 293T cells increased significantly, while OPG mRNA and protein expression decreased significantly (all P < 0.05).

conclusionMiR-145 plays a role in the occurrence of SINFH by targeting the OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway.
