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

Certain miRNAs, notably miR29c, demonstrate a remarkable capacity to regulate cellular osteogenic differentiation. However, their application in tissue regeneration is hampered by their inherent instability and susceptibility to degradation. In this study, we developed a novel miR29c delivery system utilising tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), aiming to enhance its stability and endocytosis capability, augment the efficacy of miR29c, foster osteogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and significantly improve the repair of critical-sized bone defects (CSBDs). We confirmed the successful synthesis and biocompatibility of sticky ends-modified tFNAs (stFNAs) and miR29c-modified stFNAs (stFNAs-miR29c) through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, microscopy scanning, a cell counting kit-8 assay and so on. The mechanism and osteogenesis effects of stFNAs-miR29c were explored using immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, and reserve transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Additionally, the impact of stFNAs-miR29c on CSBD repair was assessed via micro-CT and histological staining. The nano-carrier, stFNAs-miR29c was successfully synthesised and exhibited exemplary biocompatibility. This nano-nucleic acid material significantly upregulated osteogenic differentiation-related markers in BMSCs. After 2 months, stFNAs-miR29c demonstrated significant bone regeneration and reconstruction in CSBDs. Mechanistically, stFNAs-miR29c enhanced osteogenesis of BMSCs by upregulating the Wnt signalling pathway, contributing to improved bone tissue regeneration. The development of this novel nucleic acid nano-carrier, stFNAs-miR29c, presents a potential new avenue for guided bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering research.
