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

backgroundTraditional Chinese medicine has been found effective for the therapy of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This study was aimed at investigating the underlying mechanism of Bugan Rongjin decoction (BGRJ) in treating the postmenopausal KOA.

resultsOvariectomized rat model of KOA and LPS-induced chondrocytes were successfully constructed for in vivo and in vitro model of postmenopausal KOA. X-ray and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining showed that BGRJ alleviated pathological damage of articular cartilage in OVX rats with KOA. In addition, BGRJ inhibited inflammation and oxidative stress through decreasing the levels of serum IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and NO and regulated Wnt signaling pathway by downregulating the expression of Wnt5a and β-catenin and upregulating the expression of Sox9 and Collagen II in cartilage tissue, detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blot analysis. Furthermore, Wnt5a silencing reduced the apoptosis of LPS-induced ADTC5 cells, which was further suppressed by the combination of downregulation of Wnt5a and BGRJ.

conclusionsIn summary, BGRJ alleviates inflammation and oxidative stress to treat the postmenopausal KOA through Wnt signaling pathway.
