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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been corroborated to engage in the process of cellular activities in osteoporosis. However, few researches have been conducted to expose the integrated role of miR-497, leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)/Smads signalling pathway in osteoporosis. Thereafter, the study is set out to delve into miR-497/LRG1/TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway axis in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis bone tissues and normal bone tissues were collected. Rat osteoporosis models were constructed via ovariectomy. Model rats were injected with restored miR-497 or depleted LRG1 to explore their roles in osteoporosis. Rat osteoblasts were extracted from osteoporosis rats and transfected with restored miR-497 or depleted LRG1 for further verification. MiR-497 and LRG1 expression in femoral head tissues and osteoblasts of osteoporosis rats were detected. TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway-related factors were detected. MiR-497 was poorly expressed while LRG1 was highly expressed and TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway activation was inhibited in osteoporosis. MiR-497 up-regulation or LRG1 down-regulation activated TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway, promoted collagen type 1 synthesis and suppressed oxidative stress in femoral head tissues in osteoporosis. MiR-497 restoration or LRG1 knockdown activated TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway, promoted viability and suppressed apoptosis of osteoblasts in osteoporosis. Our study suggests that miR-497 up-regulation or LRG1 down-regulation promotes osteoblast viability and collagen synthesis via activating TGF-β1/Smads signalling pathway, which may provide a novel reference for osteoporosis treatment.
