Circular RNA circ_0128846 promotes the progression of osteoarthritis by regulating miR-127-5p/NAMPT axis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMounting evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) participate in the occurrence and development of various diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). However, the effects and molecular mechanism of circ_0128846 in OA have not been reported.
methodsThe expression levels of circ_0128846, microRNA-127-5p (miR-127-5p), and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot assay. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry and western blot assay. Inflammatory response and cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation were evaluated by western blot assay. The relationship between miR-127-5p and circ_0128846 or NAMPT was predicted by bioinformatics tools and verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays.
resultsCirc_0128846 and NAMPT were upregulated and miR-127-5p was downregulated in OA cartilage tissues. Knockdown of circ_0128846 increased cell viability and inhibited apoptosis, inflammation and ECM degradation in OA chondrocytes, while these effects were reversed by downregulating miR-127-5p. Moreover, circ_0128846 positively regulated NAMPT expression by sponging miR-127-5p. Furthermore, miR-127-5p promoted cell viability and suppressed apoptosis, inflammation, and ECM degradation in OA chondrocytes by directly targeting NAMPT.
conclusionCirc_0128846 knockdown might inhibit the progression of OA by upregulating miR-127-5p and downregulating NAMPT, offering a new insight into the potential application of circ_0128846 in OA treatment.
