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

introductionOsteoarthritis (OA) is associated with deregulation of various miRNAs (miRs). The present study reported protective effect of miR-152 in osteoarthritis.

methodsTissue cartilage tissues of OA and normal subjects were used, rat model of anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) was developed. Cartilage study was done by Safranin O-fast green, histological and immunostaining. The chondrocytes were isolated from tissues and were treated with IL-1β and infected with miR-152 or TCF-4 cloned lentiviral vectors. MTT assay was done for cell viability, apoptosis by Annexin-V-FITC staining. Expressions of proteins by western blot assay. Collagen-II assay was done by immunofluroscent assay. Luciferase activity by dual luciferase reporter assay.

resultsUpregulation of miR-152 improved viability of chondrocytes, decreased apoptosis and balanced the catabolic and anabolic factors of extracellular matrix in vitro. Injecting miR-152 lentivirus in rats improved articular cartilage in osteoarthritis ACLT rats. Bioinformatics analysis suggested TCF-4 as favorable target gene of miR-152, having binding site on the 3'UTR region of TCF-4 mRNA and inhibited the expression of TCF-4. Osteoarthritis tissue cartilage both from humans and rats showed expression of miR-152 inversely linked with expression of TCF-4.

conclusionPresent study concludes miR-152 diminished the progression of osteoarthritis partially by inhibiting the expression of TCF-4.
