MiR-26a regulates the expression of serum IGF-1 in patients with osteoporosis and its effect on proliferation and apoptosis of mouse chondrocytes.

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
objectivesTo examine the effects of the regulation on IGF-1 by miR-26a on the serum of patients with osteoporosis (OP) and apoptosis and proliferation of chondrocytes of mice with OP.
methodsTotally 47 patients with OP treated in our hospital between July 2018 and November 2019 were selected as the research group, and 42 healthy individuals in physical examination over this period were selected as the control group. Serum was sampled from each participant in both groups, and miR-26a in the sampled serum was quantified and compared. In addition, chondrocytes were sampled from mice with OP. The changes of proliferation and apoptosis of the chondrocytes were analyzed via MTT and flow cytometry, and the levels of Caspase3, Caspase9, Bax, and Bcl-2 were quantified by western blot (WB) assay.
resultsMiR-26a was expressed highly in the serum of patients with OP and chondrocytes of mice with OP, while IGF-1 was lowly expressed in them. According to the dual-luciferase reporter assay, there was a targeting correlation between miR-26a and IGF-1, and suppressing miR-26a significantly up-regulated the expression and protein level of IGF-1.
conclusionsMiR-26a can serve as a biological marker for the diagnosis of OP, and it can suppress the proliferation of chondrocytes and promote their apoptosis by regulating IGF-1.
