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
Osteogenic differentiation is a vital process for growth, repair, and remodeling of bones. Accumulating evidence have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) play a crucial role in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Hence, the current study set out to elucidate the role of miR-149 in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and the underlying mechanism. First, rat models of bone differentiation were established using the Masquelet-induced membrane technique, and MSCs were isolated. The expression of miR-149 and AKT1 in the rats and cells was detected with RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The relationships among miR-149, AKT1, and Twist1 were further predicted by online bioinformatics prediction and verified using dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Alteration of miR-149, AKT1, or Twist1 was performed to further explore their effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. miR-149 was poorly expressed in the process of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, while AKT1 was highly expressed. miR-149 negatively regulated the expression of AKT1, which in turn diminished the protein levels of Twist1 and promoted the phosphorylation levels of Twist1. Lastly, miR-149 acted as an inhibitor of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, which could be reversed by AKT1. To sum up, miR-149 silencing promoted osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by enhancing Twist1 degradation through AKT1 upregulation, representing a new method for bone repair treatment.
