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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in periodontitis development and involved in osteogenesis. The current study was aimed at investigating the function of lncRNA ANRIL in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and potential molecular mechanisms.

methodsFirstly, the level of ANRIL was tested by qPCR. Then, PDLCs were treated with a mineralizing solution to induce osteogenic differentiation. ALP activity was measured, and protein levels of BMP2, Osterix, and OCN were measured by Western blot. A target of ANRIL was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay. miR-7 level was measured by qPCR, and the signals of the NF-

resultsANRIL expression was downregulated in PDL tissues. Next, ALP activity and protein levels of BMP2, Osterix, and OCN were increased to show that PDLCs were differentiated. ANRIL level was increased in differential PDLCs, in which knockdown inhibited osteogenic differentiation. Then, miR-7 was found as a target of ANRIL. The miR-7 level was upregulated in PDL tissues and reduced in differential PDLCs. Inhibition of miR-7 suppressed ALP activity and BMP2, Osterix, and OCN expression. Moreover, inhibition of miR-7 reversed the effects on the osteogenic differentiation induced by knockdown of ANRIL. Besides, the levels of p-P65 and p-I

conclusionsKnockdown of ANRIL inhibited osteogenic differentiation via sponging miR-7 through the NF-
