Klotho, FGF21 and FGF23: Novel Pathways to Musculoskeletal Health?
Article in The Journal of frailty & aging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Bone mineral density, muscle mass and physical function reach their peak between the second and fourth decade of life and then decline steadily with aging. The crucial question is: what factors contribute to or modulate this decline? The aim of this mini-review is to propose a theoretical framework for the potential role of emerging biomarkers such as klotho, fibroblast growth factors (FGF)21 and FGF23 on musculoskeletal health, with a particular focus on decline in muscle mass and function, and calls for future research to examine this proposed link. The identification of new physiological mechanisms underlying these declines may open a potentially important avenue for the development of novel intervention strategies aimed at preventing or reducing their potentially detrimental consequences.
