Regulatory Mechanism between Ferritin and Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species in Spinal Ligament-Derived Cells from Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Patient.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Primary spinal ligament-derived cells (SLDCs) from cervical herniated nucleus pulposus tissue (control, Ctrl) and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) tissue of surgical patients were analyzed for pathogenesis elucidation. Here, we found that decreased levels of ferritin and increased levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a bone formation marker, provoked osteogenesis in SLDCs in OPLL. SLDCs from the Ctrl and OPLL groups satisfied the definition of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells. RNA sequencing revealed that oxidative phosphorylation and the citric acid cycle pathway were upregulated in the OPLL group. SLDCs in the OPLL group showed increased mitochondrial mass, increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, decreased levels of ROS scavengers including ferritin. ROS and ferritin levels were upregulated and downregulated in a time-dependent manner, and both types of molecules repressed ALP. Osteogenesis was mitigated by apoferritin addition. We propose that enhancing ferritin levels might alleviate osteogenesis in OPLL.
