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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide with no effective treatment. Ageing is the primary risk factor for OA. We sought to investigate if there is a distinct and functional convergence of ageing-related mechanisms SIRT1 and autophagy in chondrocytes. Our results show that, levels of SIRT1 are decreased in human normal aged and OA cartilage compared with young cartilage. Moreover, silencing SIRT1 in chondrocytes lead to decreased expression of chondrogenic markers but did not alter the expression of catabolic proteases. In contrast, activation of SIRT1 increased autophagy in chondrocytes by the deacetylation of lysine residues on crucial autophagy proteins (Beclin1, ATG5, ATG7, LC3). This activation was shown to be mTOR/ULK1 independent. Our results indicate that maintenance of autophagy in chondrocytes by SIRT1 is essential for preserving cartilage integrity throughout life and therefore is a target for drug intervention to protect against OA.
