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

introductionOsteoarthritis (OA), the most common degenerative joint disease, can eventually lead to disability. However, no safe or effective intervention is currently available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective drugs that reduce cartilage damage and treat OA.

objectivesThis study aimed to ascertain the potential of panaxatriol, a natural small molecule, as a therapeutic drug for alleviating the progression of OA.

methodsAn in vitro culture of human cartilage explants and C28/I2 human chondrocytes and an in vivo surgically induced OA mouse model were used to evaluate the chondroprotective effect of panaxatriol. The Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability assay, CRISPR-Cas9 assay, Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing analysis and agonist or antagonist assays were used to identify the target and potential signaling pathways of panaxatriol. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-polyethylene glycol (PLGA-PEG) was used to construct the sustained-release system of panaxatriol.

resultsPanaxatriol protected against OA by regulating chondrocyte metabolism. Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1-specific E3 ligase 1 (UFL1) was identified as a novel target of panaxatriol. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing showed that UFL1 was closely related to cell senescence. Panaxatriol inhibited chondrocyte senescence through UFL1/forkhead box O1 (FOXO1)/P21 and UFL1/NF-κB/SASPs signaling pathways. It also could inhibit fibrocartilage formation during cartilage repair via the UFL1/FOXO1/Collagen 1 signaling pathway. Finally, we constructed a sustained-release system for panaxatriol based on PLGA-PEG, which reduced the number of intra-articular injections, thereby alleviating joint swelling and injury.

conclusionsPanaxatriol exerts anti-senescence effects and has the potential to delay OA progression and reduce cartilage repair fibrosis by targeting UFL1.
