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

Krox20/EGR2, one of the 4 early growth response genes, is a highly conserved transcription factor implicated in hindbrain development, peripheral nerve myelination, tumor suppression, and monocyte/macrophage cell fate determination. Here, we established a novel role for Krox20 in postnatal skeletal metabolism. Microcomputed tomographic analysis of 4- and 8-week-old mice revealed a low bone mass phenotype (LBM) in both the distal femur and the vertebra of Krox20(+/-) mice. This was attributable to accelerated bone resorption as demonstrated in vivo by increased osteoclast number and serum C-terminal telopeptides, a marker for collagen degradation. Krox20 haploinsufficiency did not reduce bone formation in vivo, nor did it compromise osteoblast differentiation in vitro. In contrast, growth and differentiation were significantly stimulated in preosteoclast cultures derived from Krox20(+/-) splenocytes, suggesting that the LBM is attributable to Krox20 haploinsufficiency in the monocytic lineage. Furthermore, Krox20 silencing in preosteoclasts increased cFms expression and response to macrophage colony-stimulating factor, leading to a cell-autonomous stimulation of cell-cycle progression. Our data indicate that the antimitogenic role of Krox20 in preosteoclasts is the predominant mechanism underlying the LBM phenotype of Krox20-deficient mice. Stimulation of Krox20 expression in preosteoclasts may present a viable therapeutic strategy for high-turnover osteoporosis.
