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

The decreased osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is an important factor causing bone loss. Nevertheless, its deep molecular mechanism has still not been fully clarified. To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms underlying BMSC osteogenesis, we conducted a bioinformatics screen using public datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify genes displaying significant expression dynamics during the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. We observed a significant upregulation of FK506 Binding Protein 5 (FKBP5) expression during the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Besides, knockdown and overexpression of FKBP5 could reduce and increase osteogenic markers and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining, respectively. Enrichment analysis of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) demonstrated that downregulation of FKBP5 activated IFNα/β signaling pathway. FKBP5 overexpression relieved the inhibitory effect of IFNβ on osteogenesis. In addition, one of the upregulated interferon-stimulated genes (ISG), interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (IFIT2), negatively regulated osteogenesis of BMSCs. IFIT2 knockdown rescued negative effect on osteogenesis caused by downregulation of FKBP5. Hydroxyapatite scaffold implanted in nude mice and drilled tibiae model in C57BL/6 mice confirmed positive role of FKBP5 in osteogenesis in vivo. Therefore, we determined the beneficial effect of FKBP5 on osteogenesis of BMSCs and validated the critical role of FKBP5/IFIT2 axis in this process. These findings might contribute to comprehension and treatment of bone diseases, like osteoporosis and bone fracture.
