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

The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor, CaSR, is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and has a critical role in modulating Ca(2+) homeostasis via its role in the parathyroid glands and kidneys. New evidence suggests that CaSR expression in cartilage and bone also directly regulates skeletal homeostasis. This Review discusses the role of CaSR in chondrocytes, through which CaSR contributes to the development of the cartilaginous growth plate, as well as in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, through which CaSR has effects on skeletal development and bone turnover in young and mature animals. The interaction of skeletal CaSR activation with parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is secreted by the parathyroid gland, can lead to net bone formation in trabecular bone or net bone resorption in cortical bone. Allosteric modulators of CaSR are beneficial in some clinical conditions, with effects that are mediated by the ability of these agents to alter levels of PTH and improve Ca(2+) homeostasis. However, further insights into the action of CaSR in bone cells might lead to CaSR-based drugs that maximize not only the effects of the receptor on the parathyroid glands and kidneys but also on bone.
