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

Disused osteoporosis is a kind of osteoporosis, a common age-related disease. Neurological disorders are major risk factors for osteoporosis. Though there are many studies on disuse osteoporosis, the genetic mechanisms for the association between glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis in osteoblasts with disuse osteoporosis are still unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the key genes and other related mechanism of ferroptosis and glutathione metabolism in osteoblast differentiation and disuse osteoporosis. By weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), the process of osteoblast differentiation-related genes was studied in GSE30393. And the related functional pathways were found through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. By combining GSE1367 and GSE100933 together, key genes which were separately bound up with glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis were located. The correlation of these key genes was analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient. GSTM1 targeted agonist glutathione (GSH) selected by connectivity map (CMap) analysis was used to interfere with the molding disused osteoporosis process in MC3T3-E1 cells. RT-PCR and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were performed. Two important pathways, glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis pathways, were found. GSTM1 and TFRC were thought as key genes in disuse osteoporosis osteoblasts with the two mechanisms. The two genes have a strong negative correlation. Our experiment results showed that the expression of TFRC was consistent with the negative correlation with the activation process of GSTM1. The strong relationship between the two genes was proved. Glutathione metabolism and ferroptosis are important in the normal differentiation of osteoblasts and the process of disuse osteoporosis. GSTM1 and TFRC were the key genes. The two genes interact with each other, which can be seen as a bridge between the two pathways. The two genes participate in the process of reducing ROS in disuse osteoporosis osteoblasts.
