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

The quantity and function of osteoblasts require continuous osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) act as important post-transcriptional regulators in a wide range of biological processes, including osteoblastic differentiation. Quercetin has also been found to prevent bone loss. In this study, we investigated the osteogenesis of quercetin and miR-206 on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their relationship. We observed quercetin enhanced BMSCs proliferation with a dose-dependent manner in Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Alizarin red S staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) quantification assay, miR-206 and mRNA levels of osteogenesis marker genes by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were used to analyze osteogenic potential. We observed quercetin significantly elevated bone mineralization and the mRNA expression levels of osteoblast-specific genes including Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix (OSX), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN). Correspondly, Cx43 expression were increased, while miR-206 expression were decreased. In the presence of agomir of miR-206, effects of quercetin on mineralization, alkaline phosphatase activity and osteoblast-specific genes expression were suppressed. Most of all, Cx43 protein level was also blocked while overexpression of miR-206 against quercetin effects. Taken together, these data indicated that quercetin promotes BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic effect of quercetin is partly modulated through miR-206/Cx43 pathway.
