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

Synovial macrophage polarization is essential for osteoarthritis (OA) development. Our study aims to investigate the underlying function and the molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_0005567 in macrophage polarization. Circular RNA (CircRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA expression levels were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). RNA pull down, luciferase reporter were employed to test the interaction between miR-492 and hsa_circ_0005567/suppressors of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2). Ectopic overexpression was used to evaluate the function of hsa_circ_0005567. The supernatant of THP-1 cells was used to incubate chondrocytes. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry were conducted to determine cell viability, proportion of M1 or M2 macrophages and apoptotic rate. The results showed that the hsa_circ_0005567 expression level was downregulated in the synovial tissues of osteoarthritis patients. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0005567 inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, and promoted M2 macrophage polarization. Hsa_circ_0005567 was proved to be a molecular sponge for miR-492, and SOCS2 was verified as the target of miR-492. MiR-492 mimic could reverse the effect of hsa_circ_0005567 overexpression on macrophage polarization. Besides, the supernatant from LPS-treated THP-1 macrophage significantly decreased chondrocytes cell viability and increased cell apoptosis ratio, which was reversed by hsa_circ_0005567 overexpression. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0005567 overexpression promoted M2 macrophage polarization through miR-492/SOCS2 axis to reduced chondrocyte apoptosis, which could inhibit osteoarthritis progression.
