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

Ghrelin regulates bone formation and osteoblast proliferation, but the detailed signaling pathway for its action on osteoblasts remains unclear. In human osteoblastic TE85 cells, we observed the effects and intracellular signaling pathway of ghrelin on cell proliferation using BrdU incorporation method. Ghrelin, at 10(-10)-10(-8) M concentration, significantly increased BrdU incorporation into TE85 cells. The action of ghrelin was inhibited by D: -Lys3-GHRP-6, a selective antagonist of GHS-R. Nitric oxide (NO) scavenger hemoglobin and the NO synthase inhibitor NAME eliminated the stimulatory action of ghrelin on proliferation, while NO donor SNAP and NO synthase substrate L-AME stimulated proliferation of osteoblastic TE85 cells. The cGMP analogue, 8-Br-cGMP, stimulated TE85 cell proliferation, and ghrelin did not enhance proliferation in the presence of 8-Br-cGMP. Inhibition of cGMP production by the guanylate cyclase inhibitor prevented ghrelin-induced osteoblastic TE85 cell proliferation. In conclusion, ghrelin stimulates proliferation of human osteoblastic TE85 cells via intracellular NO/cGMP signaling pathway.
