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 present study aimed to investigate the association between Teashirt zinc finger homeobox 3 (TSHZ3) and the nucleus pulposus (NP) of intervertebral discs in rats. TSHZ3 was identified from the differentially expressed micro (mi)RNAs in the expression profile of GSE63492 by identifying the overlapped target genes of microRNA (miR)-125b-1-3p across different databases. TSHZ3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and an miR-125b-1-3p inhibitor were used for gene silencing and gene silencing efficiency was assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Western blotting was performed to detect the cell cycle proteins cyclin D1 and B1 and the proteins associated with DNA damage in NP. The results revealed that in normal NPs, the expression of TSHZ3 increased following the inhibition of miR-125b-1-3p and in DNA damaged NPs, the expression of TSHZ3 was associated with the degree of DNA damage. The present study demonstrated that TSHZ3, as a target gene of miR-125b-1-3p, may serve a protective role in intervertebral disc degeneration and that this protective function may be inhibited by high levels of miR-125b-1-3p.
