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

aimsOsteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by persistent destruction of articular cartilage. It has been found that microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to the occurrence and development of OA. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of miR-486 in the development and progression of OA.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-486 in cartilage were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The expression of collagen, type II, alpha 1 (COL2A1), aggrecan (ACAN), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS4) in SW1353 cells at both messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels was determined by qRT-PCR, western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Double luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot assay were used to determine whether silencing information regulator 6 (SIRT6) was involved in miR-486 induction of chondrocyte-like cells to a more catabolic phenotype.

resultsCompared with osteonecrosis, the expression of miR-486 was significantly upregulated in cartilage from subjects with severe OA. In addition, overexpressed miR-486 promoted a catabolic phenotype in SW1353 cells by upregulating the expressions of ADAMTS4 and MMP-13 and down-regulating the expressions of COL2A1 and ACAN. Conversely, inhibition of miR-486 had the opposite effect. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-486 significantly inhibited the expression of SIRT6, confirming that SIRT6 is a direct target of miR-486. Moreover, SW1353 cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (si)-SIRT6 and it was found that SIRT6 was involved in and inhibited miR-486-induced changes to SW1353 gene expression.

conclusionOur results indicate that miR-486 promotes a catabolic phenotype in SW1353 cells in OA by targeting SIRT6. Our findings might provide a potential therapeutic target and theoretical basis for OA. Cite this article:
