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

backgroundOsteoclasts play a critical role in bone resorption under basal conditions, but they also contribute to pathological bone loss during diseases including postmenopausal osteoporosis. Phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) is an important signalling molecule in diverse haematopoietic lineages. Here, we tested the role of PLCγ2 in basal and ovariectomy-induced bone resorption, as well as in in vitro osteoclast cultures using PLCγ2-deficient (PLCγ2(-/-) ) mice. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe trabecular architecture of long bone metaphyses was tested by micro-CT and histomorphometric analyses. Postmenopausal osteoporosis was modelled by surgical ovariectomy. Osteoclast development and function, gene expression and PLCγ2 phosphorylation were tested on in vitro osteoclast and macrophage cultures.

resultsPLCγ2(-/-) mice had significantly higher trabecular bone mass under basal conditions than wild-type mice. PLCγ2 was required for in vitro development and resorptive function of osteoclasts, but not for upregulation of osteoclast-specific gene expression. PLCγ2 was phosphorylated in a Src-family-dependent manner upon macrophage adhesion but not upon stimulation by M-CSF or RANKL. Surprisingly, ovariectomy-induced bone resorption in PLCγ2(-/-) mice was similar to, or even more robust than, that in wild-type animals.

conclusionsOur results indicate that PLCγ2 participates in bone resorption under basal conditions, likely because of its role in adhesion receptor signalling during osteoclast development. In contrast, PLCγ2 does not appear to play a major role in ovariectomy-induced bone loss. These results suggest that basal and oestrogen deficiency-induced bone resorption utilizes different signalling pathways and that PLCγ2 may not be a suitable therapeutic target in postmenopausal osteoporosis.
