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

It has long been known that many bone diseases, including osteoporosis, involve abnormalities in osteoclastic bone resorption. As a result, there has been intense study of the mechanisms that regulate both the differentiation and bone resorbing function of osteoclast cells. Calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling appears to play a critical role in the differentiation and functions of osteoclasts. Cytoplasmic Ca(2+) oscillations occur during RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Ca(2+) oscillations provide a digital Ca(2+) signal that induces osteoclasts to up-regulate and autoamplify nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), a Ca(2+)/calcineurin-dependent master regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Here we review previous studies on Ca(2+) signaling in osteoclasts as well as recent breakthroughs in understanding the basis of RANKL-induced Ca(2+) oscillations, and we discuss possible molecular players in this specialized Ca(2+) response that appears pivotal for normal bone function. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 11th European Symposium on Calcium.
