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

objectivesOsteoarthritis (OA), characterized by degradation of articular cartilage, is a leading cause of disability. As the only cell type present in cartilage, chondrocytes play curial roles in the progression of OA. In our study, we aimed to explore the roles of miR-23b in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury. MATERIALS AND

methodsLPS-induced cell injury of ATDC5 cells was evaluated by the loss of cell viability, enhancement of cell apoptosis, alteration of apoptosis-associated proteins, and release of inflammatory cytokines. Then, miR-23b level after LPS treatment was assessed by qRT-PCR. Next, the effects of aberrantly expressed miR-23b on the LPS-induced inflammatory injury were explored. The possible target genes of miR-23b were virtually screened by informatics and verified by luciferase assay. Subsequently, whether miR-23b functioned through regulating the target gene was validated. The involved signaling pathways were investigated finally.

resultsCell viability was decreased but cell apoptosis, as well as release of inflammatory cytokines, was enhanced by LPS treatment. MiR-23b was down-regulated by LPS and its overexpression alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory injury. PDCD4, negatively regulated by miR-23b expression, was verified as a target gene of miR-23b. Following experiments showed miR-23b alleviated LPS-induced cell injury through down-regulating PDCD4 expression. Phosphorylated levels of key kinases in the NF-κB pathway, as well as expressions of key kinases in the Notch pathways, were increased by PDCD4 overexpression.

conclusionMiR-23b was down-regulated after LPS treatment, and its overexpression ameliorated LPS-induced inflammatory injury in ATDC5 cells by targeting PDCD4, which could activate the NF-κB/Notch pathways.
