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

The effects of Liuwei Dihuang pill (LWDH) on diabetic nephropathy-related osteoporosis (DNOP) are unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of LWDH on KDM7A and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in DNOP rats and the high glucose-induced MC3T3-E1 cells. A DNOP model was prepared by streptozotocin in 9-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to evaluate the effects of LWDH. The cell viability and differentiation capacity of high glucose-induced MC3T3-E1 cells were determined by CCK-8 assay, Alizarin Red staining, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, respectively. Furthermore, the expressions of KDM7A and Wnt1/β-catenin pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot analysis. Treatment of DNOP rats with LWDH could significantly ameliorate the general state, degradation of renal function, and renal pathological changes. LWDH decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, ALP, and TRAP, and increased the calcium, phosphorus in serum, as well as decreased the level of the calcium and phosphorus in the urine. Besides, LWDH significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (BV), and the bone microstructure of DNOP rats. Moreover, LWDH increased the levels of the elastic modulus, ultimate load, and bending strength in the femurs. In MC3T3-E1 cells, serum-containing LWDH significantly increases in cell viability and osteoblastic differentiation capability. The expression of α-SMA, vimentin, KDM7A, Wnt1 and β-catenin were significantly down-regulated, and the E-cadherin, H3K9-Me2, H3K27-Me2, BMP-4, BMP-7, Runx2, osteocalcin, and Col1a1 were significantly up-regulated with LWDH treatment. The present study shows that LWDH has a therapeutic effect on DNOP, in part, through down-regulation of KDM7A and Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
