MicroRNA-181 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis by targeting PTEN.

TL;DR: MiR-181 could up-regulate the expressions of caspase-3, PARP, M MP-2, and MMP-9, and thereby inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis of chondrocytes in OA by targeting PTEN.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
