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

Osteoblasts are thought to secrete factors that regulate the rate of osteoclastic bone resorption. We studied the effect of osteoblast conditioned medium on bone degradation by multinucleated osteoclast-like cells generated in vitro from mononuclear precursors and found that the medium stimulates bone degradation primarily through interactions with osteoclast precursors. The conditioned medium also stimulates expression of the osteoclast-specific antigen 121F. The increased bone degradation, but not increased 121F expression, is due to the conditioned medium maintaining activity of the osteoclast precursors. Although the osteoclast precursors exhibit the DNA fragmentation characteristic of apoptosis, the osteoblast conditioned medium does not prevent such fragmentation. Chicken macrophage growth factor neither mimics nor augments the ability of the conditioned medium to stimulate bone degradation. Studies of osteoclast generation or function should carefully consider whether the effects are dependent on the viability of the resorbing cells.
