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

objectiveTo characterize the temporal changes in marrow lipids content and adipocytes in the development of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in rabbits using MR spectroscopy. SUBJECTS AND

methodsTwenty 20-week-old female rabbits were randomized to a control group and a GIOP group equally. Marrow lipids fraction and bone mineral density at the left proximal femur and L3-L4 vertebrae were measured by MR spectroscopy and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at week 0, 4, 8, and 12. Marrow adipocytes were quantitatively evaluated by histopathology.

resultsMarrow adiposity in the GIOP group showed a significant increase over time, with a variation of marrow lipids fraction (+35.9 %) at week 4 from baseline and it was maintained until week 12 (+75.2 %, p < 0.001 for all). The GIOP group demonstrated continuous deterioration of bone with significant difference between the two groups at week 8, followed by increased marrow fat with significant difference at week 4 (p < 0.05 for all). In comparison with the controls, marrow adipocyte density in the GIOP group increased by 57.1 % at week 8 and 35.4 % at week 12, respectively. A reduction (-13.3 %) in adipocyte mean diameter at week 8 (but an increase (+22.7 %) at week 12) were observed in the GIOP group compared with the control group (p < 0.05 for all). There was significant difference between two periods (p = 0.023) in adipocyte mean diameter in the GIOP group. The percentage area of marrow adipocytes in the GIOP group was 62.8 ± 8.7 % at week 8 and 79.2 ± 7.7 % at week 12, both of which were significantly higher than those of the controls (p < 0.05 for all).

conclusionsMarrow adipogenesis is synchronized with bone loss in the development of GIOP, which was characterized by a significant increase in the number of small-sized marrow adipocytes in the relatively early stage and concomitant volume increase later on. MR spectroscopy appears to be the most powerful tool for detecting the sequential changes in marrow lipid content.
