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

objectivesPantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit bone resorption. The aim of the study was to investigate whether pantoprazole can prevent development of botulinum toxin (BTX)-induced disuse osteopenia in mice.

methodsForty-eight 16-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomized into 4 groups (n=12): Base, Ctrl, BTX, and BTX+Pan. The Base group was euthanized at study start. The BTX and BTX+Pan groups were immobilized by injections with BTX in one hind limb. The BTX+Pan group was injected i.p. daily with 100 mg pantoprazole per kg bodyweight. The mice were euthanized after 3 weeks of treatment. The skeletal status was investigated by DEXA, µCT, mechanical testing, dynamic bone histomorphometry, and RT-qPCR. The bone sites investigated were tibia, femur, L5 vertebra, and humerus.

resultsInjections of BTX induced a pronounced and significant loss of bone density, microstructure, and strength in the immobilized hind limb. Furthermore, the localized intramuscular injections of BTX lead to a slight loss of bone and bone strength at the L5 vertebra and humerus. Treatment with pantoprazole did not have any bone protective or deleterious effects.

conclusionPantoprazole was unable to prevent the development of BTX induced disuse osteopenia in skeletally mature female C57BL/6J mice.
