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

backgroundSkeletal unloading can induce severe disuse osteopenia that often occurs in spaceflight astronauts or in patients subjected to prolonged bed-rest or immobility. Previously, we revealed a mechano-sensitive factor, miRNA-132-3p, that is closely related to the osteoblast function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNA-132-3p could be an effective target for treating disuse osteopenia.

methodsThe 2D-clinostat device and the hindlimb-unloaded (HU) model were used to copy the mechanical unloading condition at the cellular and animal levels, respectively. Mimics or inhibitors of miRNA-132-3p were used to interfere with the expression of miRNA-132-3p in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro for analyzing the effects on osteogenic differentiation. The special in vivo antagonists of miRNA-132-3p was delivered to the bone formation regions of HU mice for treating disuse osteopenia by a bone-targeted (AspSerSer)

resultsmiRNA-132-3p expression was declined under normal conditions and increased under gravitational mechanical unloading conditions during osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. The upregulation of miRNA-132-3p expression resulted in the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation, whereas the downregulation of miRNA-132-3p expression enhanced osteogenic differentiation. The inhibition of miRNA-132-3p expression was able to attenuate the negative effects of mechanical unloading on BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Most importantly, the targeted silencing of miRNA-132-3p expression in the bone tissues could effectively preserve bone mass, microstructure, and strength by promoting osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis in HU mice.

conclusionThe overexpression of miRNA-132-3p induced by mechanical unloading is disadvantageous for BMSC osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis. Targeted silencing of miRNA-132-3p expression presents a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of disuse osteoporosis.
