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

As a common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA) represents a degenerative disease, characterized by articular cartilage damage and synovium inflammation. Recently, the role of various microRNAs (miRs) and their specific expression in OA has been highlighted. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to elucidate the role by which miR-495 and chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4) influence the development and progression of OA. OA mice models were established, after which the CCL4 and collagen levels as well as cell apoptosis were determined in cartilage tissue of OA mice. The chondrocytes of the OA mice models were subsequently treated with a series of miR-495 mimic, inhibitor, and siRNA against CCL4. Afterwards, miR-495 expressions as well as the levels of CCL4, p50, p65, and IkBa and the extent of IkBa phosphorylation in addition to the luciferase activity of NF-kB were measured accordingly. Finally, cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were detected. miR-495 was highly expressed while NF-κB, CCL4, and collagen II were poorly expressed. Cell apoptosis was elevated in the cartilage tissue of the OA mice. CCL4 was a potential target gene of miR-495. Downregulation of miR-495 led to accelerated chondrocyte proliferation accompanied by diminished cell apoptosis among the OA mice. Taken together, the results of the current study demonstrated that inhibition of miR-495 suppressed chondrocyte apoptosis and promoted its proliferation through activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by up-regulation of CCL4 in OA.
