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

An imbalance of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Our previous study verified that Adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1)/myoferlin deficiency promotes adipogenic differentiation of MSCs by blocking autophagic flux in osteoporosis. However, the function of APPL1 in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of APPL1 in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in osteoporosis and the underlying regulatory mechanism. In this study, we demonstrated the downregulation of APPL1 expression in patients with osteoporosis and osteoporosis mice. The severity of clinical osteoporosis was negatively correlated with the expression of APPL1 in bone marrow MSCs. We found that APPL1 positively regulates the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, RNA sequencing showed that the expression of MGP, an osteocalcin/matrix Gla family member, was significantly upregulated after APPL1 knockdown. Mechanistically, our study showed that reduced APPL1 impaired the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by facilitating Matrix Gla protein expression to disrupt the BMP2 pathway in osteoporosis. We also evaluated the significance of APPL1 in promoting osteogenesis in a mouse model of osteoporosis. These results suggest that APPL1 may be an important target for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
