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

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a condition involving disruption of the bone tissue distribution. Nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cells (NPMSCs) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) play important roles in bone diseases, therefore the aim of the present study was to evaluate the roles of SIRT1 and NPMSCs in IDD. First, NPMSCs were harvested from patients with IDD. Then, the NPMSCs were treated with a SIRT activator, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) and chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) inhibitors. Indices related to NPMSC growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis were measured. Subsequently, IDD rat models were established and were transfected with NPMSCs overexpressing SIRT1. NPMSC apoptosis and cartilage differentiation were detected in the rat IDD model. SIRT1 expression was found to be decreased, and the expression of MCP1 and CCR2 increased in NPMSCs of patients with IDD. The upregulation of SIRT1 and the downregulation of the MCP1/CCR2 axis promoted cartilage differentiation and reduced the number of apoptotic NPMSCs. Furthermore, MCP1 reversed the progression of the cartilage differentiation of NPMSCs and the inhibition of NPMSC apoptosis induced by SIRT1 overexpression. Moreover, the transplantation of rat NPMSCs overexpressing SIRT1 relieved IDD in rats. Therefore, SIRT1 overexpression improved cartilage differentiation and reduced the apoptosis of NPMSCs by inactivating the MCP1/CCR2 axis, thus attenuating IDD in rats.
