Osteoclast precursors do not express CD68: results from CD68 promoter-driven RANK transgenic mice.
Article in FEBS letters, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Macrophages and osteoclasts are thought to derive from CD68 lineage marker-positive common myeloid precursors. We used the CD68 promoter to drive an inducible receptor activator of NF-κB (iRANK) construct that selectively activates RANK signaling in myeloid cells in vivo. The cytoplasmic portion of RANK was fused to a mutant FK506 binding domain, which selectively binds the chemical inducer of dimerization AP20187 and initiates signaling. iRANK mRNA was expressed in macrophages isolated from peritoneal cavity, spleen-, and bone marrow-derived myeloid cells. Unexpectedly, AP20187 did not induce osteoclast formation in spleen- and bone marrow-derived myeloid cells. However, AP20187-dependent RANK signaling induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and mRNA expression of MMP9 and CathepsinK in peritoneal macrophages. Importantly, CD68 was not expressed until day 3 and day 5 in bone marrow and spleen myeloid cells, respectively. Contrary to dogma, osteoclast precursors do not express the lineage marker CD68.
