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

objectiveTo explore the effects and mechanism of miR-21 on the osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of mouse BMSCs.

methodsThe bilateral ovaries of C57BL/6J mice (n=24) were removed to construct an osteoporosis model. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-21, osteogenic/adipogenic genes, and PTEN. ALP and ARS and ORO staining were used to detect the formation of calcium nodules and lipid droplets in BMSCs. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTEN.

resultsmiR-21 was significantly down-regulated in osteoporotic mice. The expression of miR-21 was significantly up-regulated after the osteogenic induction of BMSCs, and the expression of miR-21 was significantly down-regulated after the adipogenic induction. Overexpression of miR-21 significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibits the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

conclusionMiR-21 can promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibit their adipogenic differentiation by negatively regulating PTEN.
