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

BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is associated with low back and neck pain, but the mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis are unclear. In this study, we explored the function of microRNA-149 (miR-149) in inflammatory response mediated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect miRNA and mRNA levels, while Western blotting was utilized to determine protein levels. ELISA was used to examine chemokine production. The correlation between miR-149 and MyD88 was assessed by reporter assay. Apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. RESULTS miR-149 expression was significantly decreased after LPS exposure in NP cells. Overexpression of miR-149 reversed LPS-induced inhibition in aggrecan and collagen II expression and attenuated LPS-mediated promotion in the levels of MMP3, ADAMTS4, and inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, we found that miR-149 exerted its function by targeting MyD88 in NP cells. CONCLUSIONS miR-149 can inhibit the inflammatory response mediated by LPS in NP cells, and might be a potential target for the treatment of IDD.
