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

Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal degradation process that has important roles in both normal human physiology and disease. However, the function of autophagy in bone homeostasis is not well understood. Here, we report that autophagy is activated during osteoblast differentiation. Ablation of focal adhesion kinase family interacting protein of 200 kD (FIP200), an essential component of mammalian autophagy, led to multiple autophagic defects in osteoblasts including aberrantly increased p62 expression, deficient LC3-II conversion, defective autophagy flux, absence of GFP-LC3 puncta in FIP200-null osteoblasts expressing transgenic GFP-LC3, and absence of autophagosome-like structures by electron microscope examination. Osteoblast-specific deletion of FIP200 led to osteopenia in mice. Histomorphometric analysis revealed that the osteopenia was the result of cell-autonomous effects of FIP200 deletion on osteoblasts. FIP200 deletion led to defective osteoblast terminal differentiation in both primary bone marrow and calvarial osteoblasts in vitro. Interestingly, both proliferation and differentiation were not adversely affected by FIP200 deletion in early cultures. However, FIP200 deletion led to defective osteoblast nodule formation after initial proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore, treatment with autophagy inhibitors recapitulated the effects of FIP200 deletion on osteoblast differentiation. Taken together, these data identify FIP200 as an important regulator of bone development and reveal a novel role of autophagy in osteoblast function through its positive role in supporting osteoblast nodule formation and differentiation.
