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

Fracture non-unions affect many patients worldwide, however, known risk factors alone do not predict individual risk. The identification of novel biomarkers is crucial for early diagnosis and timely patient treatment. This study focused on the identification of microRNA (miRNA) related to the process of fracture healing. Serum of fracture patients and healthy volunteers was screened by RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed miRNA at various times after injury. The results were correlated to miRNA in the conditioned medium of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) during in vitro osteogenic differentiation. hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-335-5p, and miR-193a-5p were identified both in vitro and in fracture patients and their functional role in direct BMSC osteogenic differentiation was assessed. The results showed no influence of the downregulation of the three miRNAs during in vitro osteogenesis. However, miR-1246 may be involved in cell proliferation and recruitment of progenitor cells. Further studies should be performed to assess the role of these miRNA in other processes relevant to fracture healing.
