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

Bisphosphonates are widely used in the clinical treatment of bone diseases with increased bone resorption. In terms of side effects, they are widely known to be associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bisphosphonates on the gene expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in vitro. Nitrogen-containing and non-nitrogen containing bisphosphonates have been compared. Human osteoblasts were stimulated with zoledronate and ibandronate at concentrations of 5 × 10(-5) M, 5 × 10(-6) M, and 5 × 10(-7) M over the experimental period of 14 days. Furthermore, the hOB cell lines were stimulated by clodronate at concentrations of 5 × 10(-3) M, 5 × 10(-5) M, and 5 × 10(-6) M. At each point in time, the gene expression levels of RANKL and OPG were quantified by real-time RT-PCR. The results showed a moderate enhancement of OPG gene expression whereas RANKL gene expression was strongly increased by nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates reaching a maximum after 14 days at high concentrations of 5 × 10(-5) M. Lower concentrations did not enhance the RANKL and OPG expression considerably. The non-nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate clodronate, however, effected OPG and RANKL gene expression much less, even at higher concentrations of 5 × 10(-3) M. The above-mentioned data suggest an enhanced RANKL/OPG gene expression after stimulation by bisphosphonates. Interestingly, clodronate might have little influence on osteoblast/osteoclast interaction with respect to OPG and RANKL gene expression.
