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
objectiveWe evaluated the ability of miR-379-5p to influence the proliferation of osteoarthritis chondrocytes and elucidated the regulatory mechanism of miR-379-5p in osteoarthritis.
methodsReal time polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-379-5p and YBX1 in knee articular cartilages of human. Cell proliferation, inflammatory factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation-associated proteins and proteins in PI3K/Akt pathway were assessed in rat primary chondrocytes treated with interleukin (IL)-1β or/and miR-379-5p mimics or miR-379-5p inhibitor via cell counting assay kit-8 (CCK-8), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence and Western blotting (WB). The target of miR-379-5p predicted by TargetScan and miRwalk software was verified by luciferase reporter assay. Safranin O-fast green staining, immunohistochemistry, and WB were performed to observe the effect of miR-379-5p agomir on development of osteoarthritis in rats.
resultsMiR-379-5p was down-regulated in human osteoarthritic tissues and negatively correlated with YBX1 expression. High level of miR-379-5p in chondrocytes with IL-1β stimulated increased cell viability, the expression of proliferation-related protein and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related proteins collagen II and aggrecan. However, the expression of inflammatory factors and ECM-related proteins matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1) and MMP-13 was decreased. Luciferase reporting assay verified the targeting relationship between miR-379-5p and YBX1. This function of miR-379-5p was exerted through PI3K/Akt pathway and could be blocked by the PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002. MiR-379-5p agomir promoted the articular chondrocytes proliferation and alleviated cartilage degradation
conclusionOur findings reveal that miR-379-5p can promote the articular chondrocytes proliferation in osteoarthritis (OA) by interacting with YBX1 and regulating PI3K/Akt pathway. Restoring miR-379-5p might be a future therapeutic strategy for OA.
