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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating joint disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide, severely impairing mobility, independence, and quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis is a critical factor in OA pathogenesis. However, its precise involvement and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we first identified that cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP) mediates the regulation of ferroptosis-related genes in OA through hdWGCNA analysis combined with single-cell RNA sequencing. Further investigation revealed a significant upregulation of CILP protein expression in C28/I2 cells under LPS induction. Mechanistically, bioinformatics analysis identified differentially expressed miRNAs; qRT-PCR combined with a dual-luciferase experiment revealed that miR-140-3p was downregulated and directly targets CILP. Experimental data further demonstrated that miR-140-3p regulates ferroptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by targeting CILP. These findings offer valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of the miR-140-3p/CILP axis in regulating ferroptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress, thus providing a foundation for developing therapeutic strategies for OA.
