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

Osteoporosis is a complex multifactorial disorder linked to various risk factors and medical conditions. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) dysfunction potentially plays a critical role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. Herein, the study identified that miR-4739 was upregulated in BMSC cultures harvested from osteoporotic subjects. BMSCs were isolated from normal and osteoporotic bone marrow tissues and identified for their osteogenic differentiation potential. In osteoporotic BMSCs, miR-4739 overexpression significantly inhibited cell viability, osteoblast differentiation, mineralized nodule formation, and heterotopic bone formation, whereas miR-4739 inhibition exerted opposite effects. Through direct binding, miR-4739 inhibited distal-less homeobox 3 (DLX3) expression. In osteoporotic BMSCs, DLX3 knockdown also inhibited BMSC viability and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, DLX3 knockdown partially attenuated the effects of miR-4739 inhibition upon BMSCs. Altogether, the miR-4739/DLX3 axis modulates the capacity of BMSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts, which potentially plays a role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. The
