Salvianolic acid B and danshensu induce osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal stem cells by upregulating the nitric oxide pathway.

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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) and danshensu (DSU) on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the mechanisms of the effects. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in culture was assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin (OCN) production, nitric oxide (NO) production and the mRNA expression levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and its ligand by MSCs. MSCs were successfully induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes. Sal B and DSU increased the ALP activity and the production of OCN in the absence of an ossification inducer. The increase in ALP activity was more pronounced when induction was combined with the osteogenic inducer, Sal B, which enhanced the expression of OPG; however, Sal B reduced the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) by MSCs. Sal B reversed the inhibitory effect of N-nitro L-arginine methylester on the MSCs and increased ALP activity, OCN content and the OPG/RANKL ratio. Based on these results, it was concluded that Sal B increases the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, most likely by regulating the nitric oxide pathway.
