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

Osteoporosis is not well treated due to the difficulty of finding commonalities between the various types of it. Iron homeostasis is a vital component in supporting biochemical functions, and iron overload is recognized as a common risk factor for osteoporosis. In this research, we found that there is indeed evidence of iron accumulation in the bone tissue of patients with osteoporosis and REPIN1, as an origin specific DNA binding protein, may play a key role in this process. We revealed that sh-Repin1 therapy can rescue bone loss in an iron-overload-induced osteoporosis mouse model. Knockdown of Repin1 can inhibit apoptosis and enhance the resistance of osteoblasts to iron overload toxicity. REPIN1 promoted apoptosis by regulating iron metabolism in osteoblasts. Mechanistically, knockdown of Repin1 decreased the expression of Lcn2, which ameliorated the toxic effects of intracellular iron overload. The anti-iron effect of lentivirus sh-Repin1 was partially reversed or replicated by changing LCN2 expression level via si-RNA or plasmid, which indirectly verified the key regulatory role of LCN2 as a downstream target. Furthermore, the levels of BCL2 and BAX, which play a key role in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, were affected. In summary, based on the results of clinical specimens, animal models and in vitro experiments, for the first time, we proved the key role of REPIN1 in iron metabolism-related osteoporosis.
