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

Staphylococcus aureus-induced bone infection is one of the thorny issues in clinical orthopedics, and understanding its detailed molecular regulatory mechanisms will help in seeking strategies. In this study, the differentially expressed genes in murine long bone osteocyte (MLO)-Y4 cells treated with or without Staphylococcus aureus were screened out through RNA sequencing, and microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1) was identified as one of the most significantly downregulated genes, which was validated by the subsequent RT-qPCR and Western blot. Then, Cellular functional assays showed that MACF1 overexpression markedly inhibited apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory mediators, but recovered cell viability and production of osteogenic markers in staphylococcal protein A (SPA) induced MLO-Y4 cells. Mechanistically, MACF1 mRNA was stabilized by N6 methyl adenosine (m6A) modification, and upregulated MACF1 inactivated the PI3K/AKT signaling in SPA-induced MLO-Y4 cells. To conclude, targeting m6A-methylated MACF1 ameliorates SPA-triggered inflammation, apoptosis and metabolic dysfunction in MLO-Y4 cells.
