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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators in gene expression; however, little is currently known regarding their role in cartilaginous endplate (CE) degeneration (CED) of cervical vertebra. The present study aimed to investigate the expression levels of lncRNAs and analyze their potential functions in CED of cervical vertebra in patients with cervical fracture and cervical spondylosis. Human competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) array was used to analyze lncRNA and mRNA expression levels in CE samples from patients with cervical fracture and cervical spondylosis, who received anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) or differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and functionally analyzed, using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. An lncRNA-microRNA(miRNA)-mRNA ceRNA regulatory network was constructed based on the DELs and DEGs, and the ceRNA network was visualized using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. In total, one downregulated mRNA, one upregulated miRNA and five downstream regulated lncRNAs were identified using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR in CED and healthy CE samples. A total of 369 lncRNAs and 246 mRNAs were identified as differentially expressed in CE. The GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that the majority of GO and KEGG enrichments were associated with CED. Furthermore, a ceRNA network was established, including 168 putative miRNA response elements, 189 upregulated and 37 downregulated lncRNAs and 47 upregulated and 10dow regulated DEGs. The present study analyzed the function of DEGs in the ceRNA network and filtered out the same items as in DEG-function enrichment analysis. These results provide a new perspective for an improved understanding of ceRNA-mediated gene regulation in cervical spondylosis, and provide a novel theoretical basis for further studies on the function of lncRNA in cervical spondylosis. However, further experiments are required to validate the results of the present study.
