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

The aim of the present study was to determine the function of microRNA (miR)-125b-5p in lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were stimulated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h to establish an LDD model. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to assess miR-125b-5p levels in human lumbar degenerative NP samples and IL-1β-treated NP cells. An interaction between miR-125b-5p and TP53-regulated inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1) was revealed by TargetScan 7.1 and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Protein levels of pro-inflammatory factors were determined using ELISA. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. miR-125b-5p was markedly upregulated in both human lumbar degenerative NP specimens and IL-1β-treated NP cells. TRIAP1, which directly targets miR-125b-5p, was markedly downregulated in human lumbar degenerative NP specimens and IL-1β-treated NP cells. The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were inhibited in IL-1β-treated NP cells transfected with miR-125b-5p inhibitor. Moreover, miR-125b-5p inhibitor increased NP cell viability, prevented apoptosis and repressed the apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1/caspase 9 pathway in IL-1β-treated NP cells. Thus, the present findings suggested that miR-125b-5p could regulate LDD by adjusting NP cell apoptosis and inflammatory responses via TRIAP1.
