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

purposesStrontium ranelate (SrRN) is a novel and effective anti-osteoporotic drug used to promote bone formation and restrain bone resorption. However, studies of the effects and mechanism of SrRN on adipocytic differentiation from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) remain limited.

methodsThe cytoactivity of BMMSCs was analyzed by CCK-8 and annexin V-FITC/PI kit. Then the differentiation efficiency was analyzed by Oil Red O staining and western blotting. The level of autophagy was evaluated by immunofluorescence and western blotting. The autophagy inhibitor chloroquine and the selective Akt antagonist API-2 were used to study the relationship between autophagy regulation and adipocytic differentiation. Finally variations in β-catenin protein levels were also analyzed by western blotting, as were proteins related with autophagy and differentiation signaling pathways.

resultsSrRN had no influence on the vatility of BMMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) and exhibited anti-adipocytic effects in dose-dependent manner. At the early stage of adipocytic differentiation, autophagy level significantly increased and SrRN inhibited the variation tendency. Then we detected the PPAR-γ and β-catenin variation when applied with autophagy inhibitor CQ (chloroquine) and the same way, after Akt selective inhibitor applied in the test, the effect of SrRN was compromised. At last, we detected the increased phosphorylation of Akt-related pathway at 1.00 mM concentration of SrRN in comparison with the adipocytic induction.

conclusionsSrRN could disturb the process of adipocytic differentiation of BMMSCs and interfere with the variation tendency of autophagy level after adipocytic induction in Akt-dependent manners.
