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

Sustained dexamethasone (Dex) treatment could induce secondary osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, or even bone fractures. Dex can induce potent cytotoxicity in cultured human osteoblasts. The aim of this study was to test the potential role of microRNA-7 (miR-7), which targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), in Dex-treated human osteoblasts. In OB-6, hFOB1.19, and primary human osteoblasts, miR-7 depletion by a lentiviral antagomiR-7 construct (LV-antagomiR-7) increased EGFR expression and downstream Akt activation, protecting cells from Dex-induced viability reduction, cell death, and apoptosis. In contrast, forced overexpression of miR-7 by a lentiviral miR-7 construct (LV-miR-7) inhibited EGFR expression and Akt activation, potentiating Dex-induced cytotoxicity in OB-6, hFOB1.19, and primary human osteoblasts. EGFR is the primary target of miR-7 in human osteoblasts. Luciferase activity of the EGFR 3-untranslated region was enhanced by LV-antagomiR-7, but decreased by LV-miR-7 in OB-6 cells. Further, LV-antagomiR-7-induced osteoblast cytoprotection against Dex was abolished by the EGFR inhibitors AG1478 and PD153035. Moreover, neither LV-antagomiR-7 nor LV-miR-7 was functional in EGFR-KO OB-6 cells. We also show that miR-7 is upregulated in the necrotic femoral head tissues of Dex-administered patients, correlating with EGFR downregulation. Together, we conclude that miR-7 inhibition protects human osteoblasts from Dex via activation of EGFR signaling.
