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

Recently, the role of microRNAs (miRs) in human diseases has been verified. This study was determined to explore the protective effects of microRNA-26a (miR-26a) in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) with the involvement of enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2).Femoral head (FH) samples from SONFH patients and patients with femoral neck fracture were collected, and rat SONFH models were established by Escherichia coli endotoxin combining with large dose steroid pulse assay. The hemorheology, blood lipid, inflammatory factors, and pathologic changes were measured by a series of experiments. Moreover, the detection of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, miR-26a expression, EZH2 expression, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), and the apoptosis of osteocytes were conducted. The target relation between miR-26a and EZH2 was clarified by bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.MiR-26a was poorly expressed, while EZH2 was highly expressed in SONFH, and the elevation of miR-26a could repress EZH2 expression. Elevated miR-26a and reduced EZH2 were able to decelerate the apoptosis of osteocytes, increase osteoblasts, and decrease osteoclasts, resulting in a repression of SONFH progression. Additionally, EZH2 was a target gene of miR-26a. Furthermore, the elevation of EZH2 could reverse the repression of SONFH progression that is induced by elevated miR-26a.We found that up-regulation of miR-26a and knockdown of EZH2 could suppress the development of SONFH, which would contribute to the therapy of SONFH.
