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

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (OPM) is a common type of osteoporosis in females. It is a systemic, chronic bone disease that presents as microstructure degradation of osseous tissue, decreased bone mineral density and increased osteopsathyrosis caused by hypoovarianism and reduced estrogen levels in the body following menopause. In the present study, the role of microRNA (miR)‑214‑5p in the regulation of the expression of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) was investigated, and its molecular mechanism of osteogenic induction in vitro was assessed. When dexamethasone‑induced adipogenic differentiation was performed, miR‑214‑5p expression was increased compared with the control group, as determined by RT‑qPCR. Furthermore, oil red O staining, RT‑qPCR and western blot analysis demonstrated that overexpression of miR‑214‑5p promoted adipogenic differentiation, inhibited alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt‑related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteocalcin (OC) and collagen α‑1 (I) chain (COL1A1) mRNA expression, and suppressed transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β, phosphorylated (p)‑Smad2 and collagen type IV α1 chain (COL4A1) protein expression in BMSCs. Additionally, downregulation of miR‑214‑5p increased the ALP, Runx2, OC and COL1 mRNA expression and increased TGF‑β, Smad2 and COL4A1 protein expression in BMSCs. Furthermore, a TGF‑β inhibitor was employed to inhibit TGF‑β expression in BMSCs following miR‑214‑5p downregulation, which led to reduced Smad2, TGF‑β and COL4A1 protein expression, and ALP, Runx2, OC and COL1 mRNA expression was also reduced, compared with the miR‑214‑5p downregulation only group. It was demonstrated that miR‑214‑5p may weaken osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through regulating COL4A1. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that miR‑214‑5p may promote the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs through regulation of the TGF‑β/Smad2/COL4A1 signaling pathway, and potentially may be used to develop a novel drug for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
