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

Dedifferentiation of chondrocyte greatly restricts its function and application, however, it is poorly understood except a small number of canonical markers. The non-cell-adhesive property endows polysaccharide hydrogel with the ability to maintain chondrocyte phenotype, which can serve as a platform to identify new molecular markers and therapeutic targets of chondrocyte dedifferentiation. In this study, the high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was first performed on articular chondrocytes at primary (P0) and passage 1 (P1) stages to explore the global alteration of gene expression along with chondrocyte dedifferentiation. Significantly, several potential marker genes, such as PFKFB3, KDM6B, had been identified via comparatively analyzing their expression in P0 and P1 chondrocytes as well as in 3D constructs (i.e. chondrocyte-laden alginate hydrogel and HA-MA hydrogel) at both mRNA and protein level. Besides, the changes in cellular morphology and enriched pathway of differentially expressed genes during chondrocyte dedifferentiation was studied in detail. This study developed the use of hydrogel as a platform to investigate chondrocyte dedifferentiation; the results provided new molecular markers and potential therapeutic targets of chondrocyte dedifferentiation.
