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

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is one of the most complex temporomandibular disorders. Cartilage matrix degradation results in the infiltration of nerves, blood vessels, and inflammatory cells, which disrupts chondrocyte function. Therapeutic strategies for TMJOA designed to maintain cartilage homeostasis remain largely unknown. Here, it is reported that orosomucoid 1 (ORM1) attenuated TMJOA progression by maintaining cartilage homeostasis. It is demonstrated that ORM1 is down-regulated in the synovial fluid of patients with TMJOA and condylar cartilage of unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) rats. Administration of ORM1 protein significantly inhibited cartilage matrix degradation and alleviated TMJOA progression in UAC rats. At the mechanistic level, ORM1 binds to vimentin (VIM), a type III intermediate filament cytoskeletal protein, and inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, thereby significantly decreasing cartilage matrix degradation mediated through inhibiting the cartilage degradation markers matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) and MMP3, and maintaining cartilage homeostasis. Notably, inhibition of VIM in vivo also markedly improved TMJOA progression, including cartilage degradation and subchondral bone destruction. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate the important functions of ORM1 in maintaining cartilage homeostasis via suppressing VIM/MAPK/MMP signaling and suggest that ORM1 is a promising target for therapeutic intervention in TMJOA.
