[Retracted] Role of miR‑146a in human chondrocyte apoptosis in response to mechanical pressure injury
Article in International journal of molecular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that certain of the Smad4, VEGF and GAPDH protein bands featured in Figs. 3D, 5C and F, 8D and 10B appeared to be strikingly similar, suggesting that the data featured in the affected figure parts had been erroneously assembled. After having conducted an internal investigation of the data in this paper in the Editorial Office, the findings of the reader were found to be largely confirmed; in particular, it was noted that the western blots featured in Figs. 5C, 5F and 10B were strikingly similar, even though the orientation of the bands differed in some of the gel slices, such that data which were intended to show the results of differently performed experiments had apparently all been derived from the same original source. Given the large number of identifications of overlapping and/or re‑used western blot data in this paper, the Editor of
