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

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degeneration. Chondrocyte inflammation, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation accelerated OA progression. MicroRNA (miRNA) has the potential to be a therapeutic method for osteoarthritis. However, it is difficult to penetrate the cell to exercise its biological function, and its extracellular effect is unclear. Methods: lipo-AgPEI-miR-200c-3p was created by combining miR-200c-3p with silver nitrate polyvinylimine nanoparticles on a microfluidic device. The drug release curve, stability, temperature sensitivity, cytotoxicity, and the impact of lipo-AgPEI-miR-200c-3p on the expression of proteins linked to matrix disintegration, apoptosis, and inflammatory factors were all detected. Results: Results showed that the particle size of Lipo-AgPEI-miR-200c-3p was about 130 nm, the Zeta potential was lowered to 1.08±0.12 mV. Lipo-AgPEI-miR-200c-3p could increase cell viability, prevent cell apoptosis, and decrease the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1 in ADTC5 cells following LPS stimulation. MMP3, MMP13, and ADAMTS-4 expression was downregulated whereas collagen II expression was upregulated. The ZEB2 expression was greatly elevated following LPS stimulation and dramatically decreased following transfection of miR-200c-3p. Collagen II expression rose following transfection of si-ZEB2, whereas the expression levels of inflammatory factors, apoptosis-related proteins, MMP3, MMP13, and ADAMTS-4 decreased. The dual luciferase experiment demonstrated that ZEB2 was the target gene of miR-200c-3p. Conclusion: The synergistic effect of AgPEI and miR-200c-3p can inhibit the inflammatory response, apoptosis, and matrix degradation of chondrocytes. Lipo-AgPEI-miR-200c-3p can also improve transfection efficiency and obtain good physicochemical properties of drugs. miR-200c-3p may be crucial in the development of OA and can influence the target gene ZEB2, control the inflammatory response, apoptosis, and chondrocyte matrix breakdown.
