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

Decreased bone formation is often associated with increased bone marrow adiposity. The molecular mechanisms that are accountable for the negative correlation between bone mass and bone marrow adiposity are incompletely understood. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) has critical functions in proliferation and differentiation of many cell types; however, its roles in osteoblast lineage cells are largely unknown. We show herein that mice lacking FAK in Osterix-expressing cells exhibited decreased osteoblast number and low bone mass as well as increased bone marrow adiposity. The decreased bone mass in FAK-deficient mice was accounted for by decreased proliferation, compromised osteogenic differentiation, and increased adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow Osterix-expressing cells resulting from downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling due to the reduced expression of canonical Wnt ligands. In contrast, FAK loss in calvarial preosteoblasts had no adverse effect on their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and these cells had intact Wnt/β-catenin signaling. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
