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 a complicated multifactorial disorder characterized by low bone mass and deteriorated bone microarchitecture with an elevated fracture risk. MicroRNAs play important roles in osteoblastic differentiation. In the present study, we found that miR-224-5p was markedly downregulated during the osteogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells. Overexpression of miR-224-5p in C2C12 cells inhibited osteoblast activity, as indicated by reduced ALP activity, matrix mineralization and the expression of osteogenic marker genes. Moreover, we demonstrated that Runx2 and Sp7 were direct targets of miR-224-5p. Furthermore, the specific inhibition of miR-224-5p by femoral bone marrow cavity injection with miR-224-5p antagomir prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss. Finally, we found that the levels of miR-224-5p were markedly elevated in the sera of patients with osteoporosis. Collectively, this study revealed that miR-224-5p negatively regulates osteogenic differentiation by targeting Runx2 and Sp7. It also highlights the potential use of miR-224-5p as a therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker for osteoporosis.
