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 ubiquitin protease pathway plays important role in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hBMSC) differentiation, including osteogenesis. However, the function of deubiquitinating enzymes in osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of ubiquitin-specific protease 53 (USP53) in the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Based on re-analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus database, USP53 was selected as a positive regulator of osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs. Overexpression of USP53 by lentivirus enhanced osteogenesis in hBMSCs, whereas knockdown of USP53 by lentivirus inhibited osteogenesis in hBMSCs. In addition, USP53 overexpression increased the level of active β-catenin and enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. This effect was reversed by the Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor DKK1. Mass spectrometry showed that USP53 interacted with F-box only protein 31 (FBXO31) to promote proteasomal degradation of β-catenin. Inhibition of the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by FBXO31 was partially rescued by USP53 overexpression. Animal studies showed that hBMSCs with USP53 overexpression significantly promoted bone regeneration in mice with calvarial defects. These results suggested that USP53 may be a target for gene therapy for bone regeneration.
