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

backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease, which is characterized by degradation of articular cartilage. Evidence indicated that miR-23b-3p was upregulated in cartilage tissues of a patient with OA. However, the mechanism by which miR-23b-3p regulates the occurrence and development of OA remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of miR-23b-3p in the progression of OA.

methodsIn this study, qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-23b-3p in OA tissue samples and normal controls, respectively. Western blotting assay was performed to detect the levels of collagen II, aggrecan, Bax and active caspase 3 in CHON-001 cells. In addition, the dual-luciferase reporter system assay was used to detect the interaction between miR-23b-3p and COL11A2 in OA.

resultsThe levels of miR-23b-3p were upregulated, while the expressions of collagen II and aggrecan were decreased in OA tissues and in IL-1β-treated CHON-001 cells. In addition, IL-1β significantly induced apoptosis of CHON-001 cells via increasing the levels of Bax and active caspase 3. However, downregulation of miR-23b-3p markedly inhibited IL-1β-induced apoptosis in CHON-001 cells via increasing the collagen II and aggrecan levels and decreasing Bax and active caspase 3 expressions. Meanwhile, dual-luciferase assay showed that COL11A2 was the direct target of miR-23b-3p in CHON-001 cells. Overexpression of miR-23b-3p markedly decreased the level of COL11A2 in cells. Moreover, downregulation of miR-23b-3p alleviated synovitis/cartilage destruction and reduced Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores and subchondral bone thickness in vivo.

conclusionDownregulation of miR-23b-3p could alleviate the progression of OA through upregulating COL11A2 in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, downregulation of miR-23b-3p might be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of OA.
