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 is caused by overloading of joints and is characterized by inflammation-induced disruption of cartilage structure. Current treatment strategy aims to relieve inflammation and prevent further deterioration of joint function. However, how mechanical force leads to inflammation and deterioration of chondrocyte function still remains incompletely understood. To explore the force-regulated molecular mechanism, an in vitro hydraulic shear force experiment to simulate the condition of force loading was required. The result demonstrated that multiple cytokines and immune regulators, including interleukin 8, interferon β, TRAF1 and TNFAIP3, were significantly increased by shear force within two hours of treatment. Moreover, JAG1 and HES1 were drastically upregulated as well, suggesting that NOTCH1 signaling is activated by shear force. Short-term expression of NOTCH1 intracellular domain activated a similar set of cytokines, indicating that NOTCH1 responds to shear force and activates downstream genes. When incubated under the medium conditioned by NOTCH1-activated chondrocyte, osteoblasts expressed higher levels of interferon β and interferon λ. Together, our results indicated that NOTCH1 functions as a force sensor and promotes expression of cytokines and immune regulators from shear-force bearing chondrocytes.
