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) are able to differentiate into adipocytes, chondroblasts or cartilage under different stimulation conditions. Identifying a mechanism that triggers the differentiation of MSCs into cartilage may help the development of novel therapeutic approaches for heterotopic ossification, the pathological formation of lamellar bone in soft tissue outside the skeleton that may lead to debilitating immobility. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), including BMP-7, are the most potent growth factors for enhancing bone formation. The current study aimed to understand the potential involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the BMP-7-induced growth of rabbit MSCs (rMSCs). Different concentrations of BMP-7 were applied to cultured rMSCs, and proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. Changes in the phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β, in addition to the expression levels of alkaline phosphatase, β-catenin and runt-related transcription factor 2 were observed by western blot analysis. Following treatment with BMP-7, the phosphorylation of GSK-3β was stimulated and the expression of β-catenin, ALP and Runx2 was increased. Furthermore, inhibiting β-catenin signaling with XAV-939 suppressed the BMP-7-mediated changes. The results indicated that the BMP-7-induced differentiation of rMSCs into cartilage was promoted primarily by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
