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

objectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Epimedium brevicornu Maxim. and Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. (EBCO) on miRNA-199 expression in osteoclasts.

methodsEBCO-containing and blank serum was drawn from Wistar rats received EBCO (12 g/kg/d) or the same volume of dH

resultsCompared with the control group, EBCO-containing serum significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the level of miRNA-199 in osteoclasts, increased Mtor mRNA level. The relative fluorescence level was significantly (P < 0.01) decreased after co-transfection of miRNA-199 mimics and MTOR-3'UTR-WT compared to NC-mimics group. EBCO-containing serum reduced cell viability and ROS level, suppressed light chain 3 (LC3)-II/LC3-I and Beclin-1, enhanced phosphorylated mTOR, mTOR and phosphorylated p70S6 kinase (p-p70S6K) proteins expression.

conclusionsEBCO delays the progression of osteoporosis by reducing miRNA-199 in osteoclasts to regulate mTOR signaling and inhibit autophagy. Further research is needed to explore new avenues of clinical application.
