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

backgroundTotal joint replacement for osteoarthritis is one of the most successful surgical procedures in modern medicine. However, aseptic loosening continues to be a leading cause of revision arthroplasty. The diagnosis of aseptic loosening remains a challenge as patients are often asymptomatic until the late stages. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been demonstrated to be a useful diagnostic tool and has been successfully used in the diagnosis of other diseases. We aimed to identify differentially expressed miRNA in the plasma of patients with aseptic loosening.

methodsAdult patients undergoing revision arthroplasty for aseptic loosening and age- and gender-matched controls were recruited. Samples of bone, tissue and blood were collected, and RNA sequencing was performed in 24 patients with aseptic loosening and 26 controls. Differentially expressed miRNA in plasma was matched to differentially expressed mRNA in periprosthetic bone and tissue. Western blot was used to validate protein expression.

resultsSeven miRNA was differentially expressed in the plasma of patients with osteolysis (logFC >|2|, adj-P < 0.05). Three thousand six hundred and eighty mRNA genes in bone and 427 mRNA genes in tissue samples of osteolysis patients were differentially expressed (logFC >|2|, adj-P < 0.05). Gene enrichment analysis and pathway analysis revealed two miRNA (miR-1246 and miR-6089) had multiple gene targets in the Wnt signalling pathway in the local bone and tissues which regulate bone metabolism.

conclusionThese results suggest that aseptic loosening may be regulated by miR-1246 and miR-6089 via the Wnt signalling pathway.
