Dysregulation of Glypicans and Notum in Osteoarthritis: Plasma Levels, Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Osteoblasts.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
In this study of the alterations of Glypicans 1 to 6 (GPCs) and Notum in plasma, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) and osteoblasts in Osteoarthritis (OA), the levels of GPCs and Notum in the plasma of 25 patients and 24 healthy subjects were measured. In addition, BM-MSCs from eight OA patients and eight healthy donors were cultured over a period of 21 days using both a culture medium and an osteogenic medium. Protein and gene expression levels of GPCs and Notum were determined using ELISA and qPCR at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days. GPC5 and Notum levels decreased in the plasma of OA patients, while the BM-MSCs of OA patients showed downexpression of GPC6 and upregulation of Notum. A decrease in GPC5 and Notum proteins and an increase in GPC3 were found. During osteogenic differentiation, elevated GPCs 2, 4, 5, 6 and Notum mRNA levels and decreased GPC3 were observed in patients with OA. Furthermore, the protein levels of GPC2, GPC5 and Notum decreased, while the levels of GPC3 increased. Glypicans and Notum were altered in BM-MSCs and during osteogenic differentiation from patients with OA. The alterations found point to GPC5 and Notum as new candidate biomarkers of OA pathology.
