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

Osteoporosis is defined as a bone condition characterized by bone mass reduction, bone micro-architectural and quality deterioration, leading to compromised strength and increased chances of fracture. Evidence have shown an essential role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in various osteogenic differentiation processes. However, the function of miR-15a-5p in the differentiation of osteogenic cells and possible mechanisms remains unclear. The present study explored the expression of miR-15a-5p in human osteoporosis specimens and during the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Functions of miR-15a-5p were determined using miR-15a-5p mimics and inhibitors. Luciferase assay was used to verify the binding of miR-15a-5p and PDCD4 3'UTR. Alizarin Red Staining (ARS) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were used to determine the miR-15a-5p role in osteogenic differentiation. Finally, Wnt pathway inhibitor was used to determine the miR-15a-5p/PDCD4/Wnt signaling pathway in regulating osteogenic differentiation. We found miR-15a-5p expression was increased in human osteoporosis specimens and during differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. PDCD4 was also identified as a target of miR-15a-5p and was found to be involved in osteogenic differentiation. Further, miR-15a-5p mimics attenuated the effects of PDCD4 overexpression. Finally, use of XAV939 (Wnt pathway inhibitor) downregulated osteogenic differentiation in miR-15a5p/PDCD4/Wnt-dependent signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-15a-5p induced differentiation of osteoblasts and mineralization by modulating osteoblast differentiation factors, mainly OSX, ALP, OCN, and RUNX2, by inhibiting PDCD4 and Wnt signaling pathways. This study provides a modality for the future use of miR-15a-5p in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.
