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

introductionsOsteoarthritis (OA) is a significant contributor to disability in the elderly population. However, current therapeutic options are limited. The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is involved in a range of disease processes, yet its role in OA remains unclear.

objectivesTo investigate the role of TRPM2 in OA.

methodsCartilage samples were collected from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and mice with OA to examine TRPM2 expression levels. To investigate the effects of TRPM2 modulation on the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) induced knee OA in mice, we utilized TRPM2 knockout mice and employed adenovirus-mediated overexpression of TRPM2. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated TRPM2 knockdown or plasmid-mediated TRPM2 overexpression was conducted to explore the role of TRPM2 in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. The regulatory mechanism of IL-1β on TRPM2 expression was screened by signaling pathway inhibitors, and the transcription factors and binding sites of TRPM2 were predicted using the database. The binding of RELA (NF-κB-p65) to the Trpm2 promoter was verified by chip-PCR and ChIP-qPCR. The therapeutic potential of Ca

resultsAn increased expression of TRPM2 was observed in the cartilage of OA patients and OA mice. Furthermore, mice deficient in Trpm2 exhibited a protective effect against DMM-induced OA progression. In contrast, TRPM2 overexpression resulted in exacerbation of DMM-induced OA and thepromotion of an OA-like phenotype of chondrocytes. TRPM2 was upregulated by IL-1β in an NF-κB-p65-dependent manner. Subsequently, the TRPM2-Ca
