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

purpose of reviewBone disease is a leading cause of fractures and continues to be a source of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As the underlying mechanisms of osteoporosis are elucidated, immune dysfunction continues to emerge as a key precipitating factor in multiple bone disease contexts. This review examines recent findings in the osteoimmunology field and their implications for bone disease and for novel future therapeutic approaches to rejuvenate the skeleton. RECENT

findingsT-cells and B-cells have long been recognized to play important roles in the etiology of inflammatory bone disease; however, new findings continue to challenge our understanding of the depth of the immuno-skeletal interface. In this review, we examine recent evidence for new roles of B-cells in oestrogen deficiency bone loss; central actions of interleukin-7 in the cause of T-cell mediated tissue destruction in rheumatoid arthritis; novel RANKL-independent alveolar bone loss in periodontal infection; and a putative role for γδ T-cells in bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw. Finally, evidence for novel bone anabolic activities mediated through T-cells by the CD28 antagonist CTLA-4Ig and by intermittently administered parathyroid hormone are examined. SUMMARY: As the field of osteoimmunology continues to mature, new interrelationships between immune cells and bone turnover continue to emerge.
