Atorvastatin Upregulates microRNA-186 and Inhibits the TLR4-Mediated MAPKs/NF-κB Pathway to Relieve Steroid-Induced Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is caused by the death of active components of the femoral head owing to hormone overdoses. The use of lipid-lowering drugs to prevent SANFH in animals inspired us to identify the mechanisms involving Atorvastatin (Ato) in SANFH. However, it is still not well understood how and to what extent Ato affects SANFH. This study aimed to figure out the efficacy of Ato in SANFH and the underlying molecular mechanisms. After establishment of the SANFH model, histological evaluation, lipid metabolism, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy of the femoral head were evaluated. The differentially expressed microRNAs (miRs) after Ato treatment were screened out using microarray analysis. The downstream gene and pathway of miR-186 were predicted and their involvement in SANFH rats was analyzed. OB-6 cells were selected to simulate SANFH
