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

objectivesFBXO6, a component of the ubiquitin E3 ligases, has been shown to bind high mannose N-linked glycoproteins and act as ubiquitin ligase subunits. Most proteins in the secretory pathway, such as matrix metalloproteinases, are modified with N-glycans and play important roles in the development of osteoarthritis (OA). However, whether FBXO6 exerts regulatory effects on the pathogenesis of OA remains undefined.

methodsThe expression of FBXO6 was examined in the cartilage of human and multiple mouse OA models. The role of FBXO6 in cartilage degeneration was analysed with

resultsThe expression of FBXO6 decreased in the cartilage from human OA samples, anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT) -induced OA samples, spontaneous OA STR/ort samples and aged mice samples. Global knockout or conditional knockout of FBXO6 in cartilage promoted experimental OA process. The molecular mechanism study revealed that FBXO6 decreased MMP14 by ubiquitination and degradation, leading to inhibited proteolytic activation of MMP13. Interestingly, FBXO6 expression is regulated by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)-SMAD2/3 signalling pathway. Therefore, the overexpression of FBXO6 protected mice from post-injury OA development.

conclusionsTGFβ-SMAD2/3 signalling pathway suppressed MMP13 activation by upregulating of FBXO6 transcription and consequently promoting MMP14 proteasomal degradation. Inducement of FBXO6 expression in OA cartilage might provide a promising OA therapeutic strategy.
