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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the effect of KAT6A on the decreased stemness of aging bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and its potential mechanism.

methodsThe acetylation level and KAT6A expression of BMSCs from the young (YBMSCs) and the old (OBMSCs) were examined. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to determine the effect of KAT6A on BMSC proliferation, colony formation, and osteogenic differentiation. The effect of KAT6A on Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway was investigated after KAT6A inhibition in YBMSCs or overexpression in OBMSCs, and the role of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway on stemness was examined by investigating proliferation, colony formation, and osteogenic differentiation. Further in vivo study was performed to explore osteogenesis ability of OBMSCs after modulation of KAT6A and Nrf2/ARE pathway through cell sheet technology.

resultsThe acetylation level and KAT6A expression of OBMSCs were decreased, and KAT6A downregulation resulted in decreased proliferation, colony formation, and osteogenic differentiation of OBMSCs. Mechanically, KAT6A was found to regulate Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway and inhibit ROS accumulation in OBMSCs, thus promoting proliferation, colony formation, and osteogenic differentiation of OBMSCs. Further study demonstrated that KAT6A could promote osteogenesis of OBMSCs by regulating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

conclusionsDownregulation of KAT6A resulted in the decreased stemness of OBMSCs by inhibiting the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. KAT6A was downregulated in aging bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and downregulation of KAT6A resulted in Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway inhibition and ROS accumulation, thus leading to decreased stemness of aging BMSCs.
