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.

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

How cortical and trabecular bone co-develop to establish a mechanically functional structure is not well understood. Comparing early postnatal differences in morphology of lumbar vertebral bodies for three inbred mouse strains identified coordinated changes within and between cortical and trabecular traits. These early coordinate changes defined the phenotypic differences among the inbred mouse strains.

introductionAge-related changes in cortical and trabecular traits have been well studied; however, very little is known about how these bone tissues co-develop from day 1 of postnatal growth to establish functional structures by adulthood. In this study, we aimed to establish how cortical and trabecular tissues within the lumbar vertebral body change during growth for three inbred mouse strains that express wide variation in adult bone structure and function.

methodsBone traits were quantified for lumbar vertebral bodies of female A/J, C57BL/6J (B6), and C3H/HeJ (C3H) inbred mouse strains from 1 to 105 days of age (n = 6-10 mice/age/strain).

resultsInter-strain differences in external bone size were observed as early as 1 day of age. Reciprocal and rapid changes in the trabecular bone volume fraction and alignment in the direction of axial compression were observed by 7 days of age. Importantly, the inter-strain difference in adult trabecular bone volume fraction was established by 7 days of age. Early variation in external bone size and trabecular architecture was followed by progressive increases in cortical area between 28 and 105 days of age, with the greatest increases in cortical area seen in the mouse strain with the lowest trabecular mass.

conclusionEstablishing the temporal changes in bone morphology for three inbred mouse strains revealed that genetic variation in adult trabecular traits were established early in postnatal development. Early variation in trabecular architecture preceded strain-specific increases in cortical area and changes in cortical thickness. This study established the sequence of how cortical and trabecular traits co-develop during growth, which is important for identifying critical early ages to further focus on intervention studies that optimize adult bone strength.
