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

Objective: Due to the complexity and heterogeneity of osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology, studying the interaction between intrinsic molecular changes in chondrocytes after hyper-physiological mechanical stress (MS) and aberrant signalling of OA risk genes remains a challenge. In this study we set out to set up an Design: Human primary chondrocyte neo-cartilage pellets were exposed for 2 days to 2 ​× ​10 ​min of hyper-physiological dynamic MS attained by a 20% strain and a frequency of 5 ​Hz. In order to assess cartilage damage, sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) content in the neo-cartilage was quantified using Alcian blue staining and a dimethyl methylene blue (DMMB) assay, while cleavage of aggrecan was visualized by immunohistochemical staining of aggrecan neo-epitope NITEGE. In addition, changes in expression levels of catabolic, anabolic and hypertrophic genes, and of three OA risk genes; Results: Hyper-physiological MS induced cartilage damage, as reflected by decreased sGAG content. mRNA levels of aggrecanase Conclusions: We established a human
