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

objectiveMesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSCs-EVs) can improve intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Considering that, their concrete mechanisms from microRNA-194-5p/tumor receptor-associated factor 6 (miR-194-5p/TRAF6) axis in IDD ask for disclosure in a scientific way.

methodsNucleus pulposus (NP) cells and MSCs were obtained. EVs were isolated from the obtained MSCs and identified. miR-194-5p expression in MSC-EVs was altered by sequence transfection. Subsequently, MSCs-EVs were co-cultured with NP cells intervened by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). NP cell proliferation and apoptosis, along with their osteogenic differentiation ability were evaluated. miR-194-5p and TRAF6 expression and their interaction were determined.

resultsIn TNF-α-intervened NP cells, miR-194-5p was down-regulated and TRAF6 was up-regulated. Restoring miR-194-5p effectively enhanced proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and reduced apoptosis of TNF-α-intervened NP cells. miR-194-5p-enriched MSCs-EVs protected TNF-α-intervened NP cells. miR-194-5p targeted TRAF6, TRAF6 overexpression exerted negatively for the growth of TNF-α-intervened NP cells, and could reduce the protective effects of miR-194-5p on TNF-α-intervened NP cells.

conclusionIt is elucidated that miR-194-5p derived from MSCs-EVs protects TNF-α-intervened NP cells through restricting TRAF6, replenishing a potential target for IDD treatment.
