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

objectiveRNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) has been shown to physically interact with Smads and enhance transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-mediated Smad2/3 transcriptional activity in mammalian cells. Objective of this study was to examine whether expression of RBPMS is regulated by interleukin-1β (IL)-1β and TGF-β superfamily growth factors and whether expression of RBPMS is altered during aging and experimental osteoarthritis.

methodsExpression of RBPMS protein was investigated in chondrocyte cell lines of murine (H4) and human (G6) origin using Western blot analysis. Regulation of RBPMS expression in H4 chondrocytes at mRNA level was done by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, characterization of Smad signaling pathways regulating RBPMS expression was performed by blocking studies using small molecule inhibitors or by transfection studies with adenoviral vector constructs (constitutive-active ALK1 and constitutive-active ALK5). Expression of RBPMS in cartilage of different age groups of C57BL/6N mice (6 months and 20 months) and in a surgically induced osteoarthritis (OA) mouse model was analyzed using immunohistochemistry.

resultsRBPMS was shown to be expressed in chondrocytes and cartilage of murine, human, and bovine origin. TGF-β inhibited RBPMS expression while BMP2 and IL-1β increased its expression. TGF-β-induced inhibition was blocked by ALK5 inhibitor. Overexpression of ca-ALK1 stimulated RBPMS expression. Moreover, RBPMS expression was found to be reduced with ageing and in OA pathogenesis.

conclusionsExpression of RBPMS in chondrocytes is regulated by TGF-β superfamily members and IL-1β, indicating a counter-regulatory mechanism. Expression of RBPMS, in cartilage and its reduction during ageing and OA might suggest its potential role in the maintenance of normal articular cartilage.
