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

objectivesTo explore the role of medial collateral ligament repair in knee osteoarthritis based on TLR4/ MyD88/ NF-κ inflammatory signaling pathway.

methodsThe modified Hulth method was used to establish models, which were divided into a repair group, a model group, and a sham operation group. The repair group was treated with medial ligament repair technology. Synovium and cartilage morphological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining to determine the degree of reparation. The cartilage was evaluated by the Mankin's score, and inflammatory factors in cartilage tissues were determined by ELISA. The changes in TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB levels were analyzed using the real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assays.

resultsThe synovial and cartilage damages in the repair group and the sham operation group were significantly alleviated compared to the model group. The Mankin's score of the model group was significantly lower than the other two groups. The expression of inflammatory factors in the repair group and the sham operation group were significantly lower than in the model group. The expressions of those factors in the repair group and the model group were higher than those in the model group.

conclusionsMedial ligament repair can improve the cartilage morphology and delay the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.
