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

COL12A1 SNPs are linked to ACL injury risk, but functional effects are unknown. We examined COL12A1 rs970547 genotype distribution in Chinese male ACL injury patients versus controls, and its impact on collagen homeostasis and fibroblast function. ACL-derived fibroblasts with rs970547(A/A) or (A/G) were obtained from patients and controls. Collagen synthesis, COL12A1 protein stability, and ER stress were assessed. The (A/A) genotype was over-represented in ACL patients. It reduced COL12A1 protein levels via destabilization, while increasing total collagen synthesis. This was associated with ER stress induction. Inhibiting ER stress rescued the functional phenotype of (A/A) fibroblasts. COL12A1 rs970547(A/A) disrupts collagen regulation and triggers ER stress, functionally impairing ACL fibroblasts and potentially elevating ACL injury risk.
