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

aimStudies have pivoted on the position of microRNAs (miRNAs) in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) but not the more specific function of miR-199-3p. Thus, this study is to uncover the mechanism of miR-199-3p in KOA.

methodsRats KOA models were established by modified Hulth method. miR-199-3p expression was observed in cartilage of KOA rats. The binding sites of miR-199-3p were predicted by bioinformatics analysis and the potential interaction between DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) and miR-199-3p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Rats were injected with miR-199-3p agomir or antagomir and DNMT3A siRNA into the knee joint. Inflammatory response factors in serum and cartilage tissues, cell apoptosis, and pathological status of cartilage tissues were detected. Chondrocytes were isolated from KOA cartilages and treated with miR-199-3p mimic or inhibitor and DNMT3A siRNA. Chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis were detected.

resultsmiR-199-3p expression was suppressed in cartilage of KOA rats. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay proved that a miR-199-3p-binding site was located in the 3'UTR of DNMT3A mRNA. Inflammation, chondrocyte apoptosis and cartilage pathological changes were improved by miR-199-3p agomir but aggravated by miR-199-3p antagomir. The effects of miR-199-3p antagomir on KOA rats were partially reversed by DNMT3A siRNA. miR-199-3p mimic or DNMT3A siRNA decreased KOA chondrocytes apoptosis and promoted proliferation. miR-199-3p inhibitor showed the opposite functions to miR-199-3p mimic. The effects of miR-199-3p inhibitor on chondrocytes were reversed by DNMT3A siRNA.

conclusionThis study highlights that miR-199-3p up-regulation or down-regulation of DNMT3A induces chondrocyte proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in KOA, which may widen our eyes to treat patients with KOA.
