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

Dishevelled (Dvl)‑2 represents one of the cytoplasmic proteins, which serves as a pivotal hub in signaling intermediates through a number of different signaling pathways associated with the Wnt family. The aim of the present study was to investigate the roles and mechanisms of Dvl‑2 on synovial fibroblasts (SFBs) in osteoarthritis (OA). A Cell Counting kit‑8 (CCK‑8) assay was used to determine cell viability. An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test kit was used to measure the activity of ALP. Western blot and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis were used to evaluate the protein and mRNA expression, respectively. The results suggest that depletion of Dvl‑2 significantly decreased the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and ALP (P<0.05) and significantly increased the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor‑κB ligand (RANKL), ALP, osteonectin (ON), osteocalcin (OCN) and osterix (P<0.05). In addition, the depletion of Dvl‑2 also significantly inhibited the expression of runt‑related transcription factor 2 (Runx‑2) and β‑catenin in SFBs (P<0.05). The effect of Dvl‑2 over‑expression was opposite to the effect of Dvl‑2 silencing. The inactivation of Wnt3a reversed the effect of Dvl‑2 silencing. In conclusion, the results indicate that Dvl‑2 regulated osteogenic differentiation of SFBs in OA.
