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

Abnormal angiogenesis and increased vascular permeability of subchondral bone are key mechanisms related to osteoarthritis (OA). However, the precise mechanisms responsible for heightened vascular permeability in OA remain unclear. The present study used proteomics to identify protein expression in damaged subchondral bone compared with normal subchondral bone. The results suggest that Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) may be associated with the vascular permeability of subchondral bone and ferroptosis in OA. The results of analysis of clinical samples indicated a significant increase in expression of RhoA in the subchondral bone of OA. This were consistent with the proteomics findings. We found through western blotting, RT‑PCR, and immunofluorescence that RhoA significantly increased the permeability of endothelial cells (ECs) by inhibiting inter‑EC adhesion proteins (zona occludens‑1, connexin 43 and Vascular endothelial‑Cadherin) and actin filaments. Furthermore, RhoA induced ferroptosis core proteins (glutathione peroxidase 4,  solute carrier family 7 member 11 and acyl‑CoA synthase long‑chain family member 4, ACSL4) by influencing lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial function, leading to ferroptosis of ECs. This suggested an association between RhoA, ferroptosis and vascular permeability. Ferroptosis significantly increased permeability of ECs by inhibiting inter‑EC adhesion proteins. RhoA increased vascular permeability by inducing ferroptosis of ECs.
