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

backgroundCircular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to be associated with osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Circ_0116061 has been found to be highly expressed in OA cartilage tissues, but its role and mechanism in OA progression remain unclear.

methodsExpression levels of circ_0116061, microRNA (miR)-200b-5p, and Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 2 (SMURF2) were detected using quantitative real-time PCR. The proliferation and apoptosis of cells were measured using cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry. Furthermore, the protein levels of proliferation-related marker, apoptosis-related markers, inflammatory factors, and SMURF2 were tested using western blot (WB) analysis. In addition, the interaction between miR-200b-3p and circ_0116061 or SMURF2 was examined using dual-luciferase reporter assay and biotin-labeled RNA pull-down assay.

resultsCirc_0116061 and SMURF2 were highly expressed, and miR-200b-3p was lowly expressed in OA cartilage tissues. Knockdown of circ_0116061 could promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis and inflammation of OA chondrocytes. MiR-200b-3p could be sponged by circ_0116061, and its inhibitor could reverse the regulation of circ_0116061 silencing on the biological functions of OA chondrocytes. SMURF2 was a target of miR-200b-3p, and its expression was positively regulated by circ_0116061. Silencing of SMURF2 also could enhance the proliferation and suppress the apoptosis and inflammation of OA chondrocytes. Furthermore, the regulation of circ_0116061 silencing on the biological functions of OA chondrocytes also could be reversed by SMURF2 overexpression.

conclusionOur data showed that circ_0116061 might regulate the miR-200b-3p/SMURF2 axis to promote the progression of OA.
