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

Bone mass is determined by bone cell differentiation, activity, and death, which mainly occur through apoptosis. Apoptosis can be triggered by death receptor Fas (CD95), expressed on osteoblasts and osteoclasts and may be regulated by estrogen. We have previously shown that signaling through Fas inhibits osteoblast differentiation. In this study we analyzed Fas as a possible mediator of bone loss induced by estrogen withdrawal. At 4 weeks after ovariectomy (OVX), Fas gene expression was greater in osteoblasts and lower in osteoclasts in ovariectomized C57BL/6J (wild type (wt)) mice compared with sham-operated animals. OVX was unable to induce bone loss in mice with a gene knockout for Fas (Fas -/- mice). The number of osteoclasts increased in wt mice after OVX, whereas it remained unchanged in Fas -/- mice. OVX induced greater stimulation of osteoblastogenesis in Fas -/- than in wt mice, with higher expression of osteoblast-specific genes. Direct effects on bone cell differentiation and apoptosis in vivo were confirmed in vitro, in which addition of estradiol decreased Fas expression and partially abrogated the apoptotic and differentiation-inhibitory effect of Fas in osteoblast lineage cells, while having no effect on Fas-induced apoptosis in osteoclast lineage cells. In conclusion, the Fas receptor has an important role in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis by mediating apoptosis and inhibiting differentiation of osteoblast lineage cells. Modulation of Fas effects on bone cells may be used as a therapeutic target in the treatment of osteoresorptive disorders.
