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

introductionCirc_HECW2 plays a key role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced signal transduction, which is critical in osteoarthritis (OA). Thus, we analyzed the role of Circ_HECW2 in osteoarthritis.

methodsThe expression of Circ_HECW2 and miR-93 was examined using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Cell apoptosis was evaluated using Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit.

resultsCirc_HECW2 and miR-93 were inversely correlated, with Circ_HECW2 upregulated and miR-93 downregulated in OA and LPS-induced chondrocytes. Circ_HECW2 overexpression inhibited miR-93 expression and increased methylation of miR-93 coding gene. Cell apoptosis analysis showed that Circ_HECW2 overexpression increased LPS-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, while MiR-93 overexpression reversed the effects of Circ_HECW2 on chondrocyte apoptosis.

conclusionIn summary, our data revealed that the Circ_HECW2 is highly expressed in OA and might inhibit miR-93 expression through methylation to affect LPS-induced chondrocyte apoptosis.
