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 fracture healing is related to gene expression, fracture healing is prospected to be implicated in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). This study focuses on the effects of epigenetic silencing of long non-coding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (lncRNA MEG3) on fracture healing by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Genes expressed in fracture were screened using bioinformatics and the subcellular location of MEG3 was determined using FISH. Next, we successfully established tibia fracture (TF) models of C57BL/6J and Col2a1-ICAT mice and the effect of silencing lncRNA MEG3 on fracture healing was detected after TF mice were treated with phosphate buffer saline (PBS), MEG3 siRNA and scramble siRNA. X-ray imaging, Safranin-O/fast green and haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and histomorphometrical and biomechanical analysis were adopted to observe and to detect the fracture healing conditions. Additionally, the positive expression of collagen II and osteocalcin was examined using immunohistochemistry. At last, in the in vitro experiment, the relationship of MEG3 and the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway in fraction healing was investigated. MEG3 was located in the cell nucleus. In addition, it was found that MEG3 and the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway were associated with fraction healing. Moreover, silencing MEG3 was proved to elevate callus area and maximum bending load and to furthermore enhance the recanalization of bone marrow cavity. Finally, MEG3 knockdown elevated levels of Col10a1, Runx2, Osterix, Osteocalcin, Wnt10b and β-catenin/β-catenin whereas it reduced p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β levels. Taken together, our data supported that epigenetic silencing of lncRNA MEG3 could promote the tibia fracture healing by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.
