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

purposeTo explore the evidence of regular alteration of bone quality in osteoporosis dynamically examined by MRS and micro-CT, comparing with histopathology.

methodsForty rabbits were allocated into two groups. Group A were used as sham. Group B underwent bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) combined with daily intramuscular methylprednisolone, underwent MR spectroscopy, micro-CT, and histopathology of L5 at 2, 4, 8, and 10 weeks after operation.

resultsFat fraction as shown by MRS in Group B was significantly increased over the time course of osteoporosis development with significant difference between two groups at 4, 8, and 10 weeks after OVX. Continuous deterioration of cancellous bone architecture in Group B, was first detected at week 4. FF value in group B correlated with micro-CT parameters. Marrow fat as measured by MR and CT was positively correlated with both the mean density and diameter of adipocytes (both of which increased over time).

conclusionsMarrow adipogenesis occurs in synchrony with deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture.MRS may be valuable to assess the pathophysiological changes of bone marrow in osteoporosis in early stage. KEY POINTS: MRS revealed gradually increasing bone marrow fat in rabbits rendered osteoporotic. Marrow adipogenesis occurs in synchrony with deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture. Pathology revealed an early increase in number of marrow adipocytes in osteoporosis. MRS may help assess early pathophysiological bone marrow changes in osteoporosis.
