Identification of pathways and genes associated with meniscus degeneration using bioinformatics analyses.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 molecular mechanisms underlying meniscus degeneration.
methodsWe performed anterior cruciate ligament resection in the Hainan Wuzhishan pig to establish a meniscus degeneration model. We applied gene chip technology to detect differentially expressed genes (DEG) in the degenerative meniscus tissues. We applied Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, core gene network, and relevant MicroRNA analyses to identify regulatory networks relevant to meniscus degeneration. We detected 893 differentially expressed genes, mainly involved in hormone production, apoptosis, and inflammation.
resultsWe found that
conclusionWe found that meniscus degeneration involves several molecular mechanisms and provide molecular targets for future research into the disease.
