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

It has previously been demonstrated that impaired angiogenesis is associated with metabolic abnormalities in bone in addition to osteoporosis (including postmenopausal osteoporosis). Enhancing vessel formation in bone is therefore a potential clinical therapy for osteoporosis. The present study conducted an in‑depth investigation using desferrioxamine (DFO) in an ovariectomy (OVX)‑induced osteoporotic mouse model in order to determine the time frame of alteration of bone characteristics and the therapeutic effect of DFO. It was demonstrated that OVX induced instant bone mass loss 1 week following surgery, as expected. In contrast, DFO treatment protected the mice against OVX‑induced osteoporosis during the first week, however failed to achieve long‑term protection at a later stage. A parallel alteration for cluster of differentiation 31/endomucin double positive vessels (type H vessels) was observed, which have previously been reported to be associated with osteogenesis. DFO administration not only partially prevented bone loss and maintained trabecular bone microarchitecture, however additionally enhanced the type H vessels during the first week post‑OVX. The molecular mechanism of how DFO influences type H vessels to regulate bone metabolism needs to be further investigated. However, the findings of the present study provide preliminary evidence to support combined vascular and osseous therapies for osteoporotic patients. Pharmacotherapy may offer a novel target for improving osteoporosis by promoting type H vessel formation, which indicates potential clinical significance in the field of bone metabolism.
