miR-140-3p aggregates osteoporosis by targeting PTEN and activating PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
Article in Human cell, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone metabolic disorder, which negatively affects the quality of life in the elders and postmenopausal females. Healthy volunteers and postmenopausal females with OP were enrolled in the present study. Bone densitometry (BMD) was detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). CD14+PBMCs and C2C12 cells were cultured to induce osteoclast differentiation and osteoblast differentiation, respectively. The interaction between miR‑140-3p and PTEN was predicted and verified by TargetScan 7.2 and dual luciferase reporter assay, respectively. miRNA/RNA level and protein level were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell differentiation of CD14+PBMCs and C2C12 cells were detected by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and alizarin red staining, respectively. The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was detected by ALP assay. Differences were observed in age, body mass index (BMI), and BMD between the OP group and the control group. Higher miR‑140-3p level and lower PTEN level were found in PBMCs of OP group compared to control group; there was a negative correlation between them in the serum of OP group. miR-140-3p targeted and downregulated the expression of PTEN. miR-140-3p inhibitor inhibited cell proliferation, differentiation, and promoted cell apoptosis of CD14+PBMCs; while promoted cell proliferation, differentiation and inhibited cell apoptosis of C2C12 cells, by targeting PTEN and inactivating PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings suggested a potential therapeutic role of miR-140-3p in the treatment of patients with OP.
