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

Given the involvement of long non-coding RNA-differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA DANCR) in osteoporosis (OP), this study aimed to investigate its role in osteogenic differentiation (OD) of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and underlying mechanisms. BMSCs were intervened with sh-DANCR, oe-DANCR, sh-phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) lentivirus, miR-19a-3p agomir, or MK-2206 dihydrochlorode. The number of mature osteoblasts, osteogenic ability, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were assessed by ALP staining, alizarin red staining, and kit assay. Bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase assay, and RNA pull-down assay were conducted to assess the binding between lncRNA DANCR and miR-19a-3p and that between PTEN and miR-19a-3p. The levels of lncRNA DANCR, osteogenesis-related proteins (osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN)), PTEN, phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-AKT), AKT, phosphorylated-mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), and mTOR were determined by RNA quantitation and western blot techniques. Silencing of lncRNA DANCR potentiated the OD capability of BMSCs, as evidenced by increased ALP activity, calcium nodule formation, and elevated expression of OPN, RUNX2, and OCN. In contrast, lncRNA DANCR overexpression inhibited the OD function by downregulating miR-19a-3p. Mechanistically, lncRNA DANCR regulated PTEN expression by competitively binding to miR-19a-3p. Additionally, PTEN silencing partially reversed the anti-OD effect of lncRNA DANCR. LncRNA DANCR knockdown activated the AKT/mTOR pathway, whereas lncRNA DANCR overexpression or MK-2206 treatment disrupted this activation. Silencing of lncRNA DANCR facilitates BMSC OD by binding to miR-19a-3p and further regulating the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway.
