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

backgroundDeer antler is the only mammalian organ that can be completely regenerated every year. Its periodic regeneration is regulated by multiple factors, including transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). This widely distributed multi-functional growth factor can control the proliferation and differentiation of many types of cell, and it may play a crucial regulatory role in antler regeneration. This study explored the role of TGF-β1 during the rapid growth of sika deer antler.

methodsThree CRISPR-Cas9 knockout vectors targeting the TGF-β1 gene of sika deer were constructed and packaged with a lentiviral system. The expression level of TGF-β1 protein in the knockout cell line was determined using western blot, the proliferation and migration of cartilage cells in vitro were respectively determined using EdU and the cell scratch test, and the expression levels of TGF-β pathway-related genes were determined using a PCR array.

resultsOf the three gRNAs designed, pBOBI-gRNA2 had the best knockout effect. Knockout of TGF-β1 gene inhibits the proliferation of cartilage cells and enhances their migration in vitro. TGF-β signaling pathway-related genes undergo significant changes, so we speculate that when the TGF-β pathway is blocked, the BMP signaling pathway mediated by BMP4 may play a key role.

conclusionsTGF-β1 is a newly identified regulatory factor of rapid growth in sika deer antler.
