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

objectivesTemporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is an inflammatory joint disease. This study investigated whether exosomes (Exos) of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have a therapeutic effect on TMJ inflammation and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND

methodsSHEDs were verified by flow cytometry. SHED-Exos were identified by western blotting, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. Western blot and RT-qPCR were performed to verify the anti-inflammatory effects of SHED-Exos. MicroRNA (miRNA) array analysis was conducted to determine the miRNA expression profiles of SHED-Exos, and the key pathways were analyzed. After chondrocytes were treated with an miR-100-5p mimic or rapamycin, relative expression of genes was measured by RT-qPCR and western blotting. A luciferase reporter assay was performed to reveal the molecular role of the exosomal miR-100 target, mTOR.

resultsMiR-100-5p was enriched in the SHED-Exos. Treatment with SHED-Exos suppressed the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), MMP3, MMP9, MMP13, and disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5). Chondrocytes treated with the miR-100 mimic showed lower expression of MMP1, MMP9, MMP13, ADAMTS5, and mTOR. In contrast, miR-100 downregulation upregulated the MMPs and mTOR. Rapamycin treatment upregulated miR-100 and downregulated MMPs and ADAMTS5. Furthermore, the luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-100-5p directly targeted the mTOR 3' untranslated region and that SHED-Exos miR-100-5p repressed mTOR expression.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated that SHED-Exos suppress inflammation in TMJ chondrocytes and may thus be a novel therapeutic agent for TMJ inflammation.
