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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease that mainly affects the diarthrodial joints. Treatments for OA include non-pharmacological interventions, topical and oral therapies, intra-articular therapies and joint surgery. However, all the treatments mentioned above mainly aim to control the symptoms instead of improving or reversing the joint condition. In this research, we observed the effect of recombinant platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB on OA in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced rat model and revealed the possible mechanisms. In vitro, the level of inflammation in the chondrocytes was gradually alleviated, and the apoptosis rate was gradually decreased by PDGF-BB at increasing concentrations. The levels of p-p38, Bax and caspase-3 decreased, and the level of p-Erk increased with increasing PDGF-BB concentration. In vivo, PDGF-BB could significantly reverse chondrocyte and matrix loss. Furthermore, high concentrations of PDGF-BB could alleviate cartilage hyperplasia to remodel the tissue. The level of collagen II was up-regulated, and the levels of collagen X and apoptosis were down-regulated by increasing concentrations of PDGF-BB. In conclusion, recombinant PDGF-BB alleviated OA by down-regulating caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. The effects of PDGF-BB on OA mainly include inhibiting chondrocyte loss, reducing cartilage hyperplasia and osteophyte formation, and regulating collagen anabolism.
