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

Biomechanical force is one of the major epigenetic factors that determine the form and differentiation of skeletal tissues. In this study, osteoblastic cells UMR-106 were exposed to compressive forces at 1000 mustrain and 4000 mustrain via a four-point bending system, and analyzed by MTT and LSCM techniques. Cell proliferation activity decreased shortly after loading but recovered to normal levels within 24 h. And the cytoskeleton depolymerized at first, but then gradually repolymerized. To find out the role of cytoskeleton in mechanotransduction, we examined the relationship between cytoskeleton construction and c-fos expression. A transient stress-induced upregulation in c-fos mRNA and c-Fos protein was discovered when cells were exposed to physiological forces. And the upregulation in c-fos expression was blocked by cytochalasin D (Depolymerizing agent of microfilament). It gave clues that the organization of cytoskeleton was an important link in transcriptional control in response to low-mechanical stimulation.
