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

backgroundTo clarify the role of apolipoprotein D (Apod) in alleviating glucocorticoid-induced osteogenesis suppression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via the PI3K/Akt pathway, thus influencing the progression of osteoporosis (OP).

methodsOsteogenesis in MSCs was induced by dexamethasone (DEX) stimulation. Dynamic expressions of Apod in MSCs undergoing osteogenesis for different time points were determined by qRT-PCR. Relative levels of osteogenesis-associated genes, including ALP, RUNX2, and Osterix, in DEX-induced MSCs overexpressing Apod or not were examined. Moreover, the protein level of RUNX2, ALP, and Osterix; ALP activity; and mineralization ability influenced by Apod in osteogenic MSCs were assessed. At last, the potential influences of Apod on the PI3K/Akt pathway were identified through detecting the expression levels of PI3K and Akt in MSCs by Western blot.

resultsApod was time-dependently upregulated in MSCs undergoing osteogenesis. DEX induction downregulated ALP, RUNX2, and Osterix and attenuated ALP activity and mineralization ability in MSCs undergoing osteogenesis, which were partially reversed by overexpression of Apod. In addition, Apod overexpression upregulated the reduced levels of PI3K and Akt in DEX-induced MSCs.

conclusionApod alleviates glucocorticoid-induced osteogenesis suppression in MSCs via the PI3K/Akt pathway, thus protecting the progression of OP.
