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

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is critical to health both as the main structural material of the skeleton and storage material of calcium and phosphate. Nanosized HAp (nHAp) is naturally produced by mineralizing cells during bone formation and remodeling and is the main constituent of the skeleton. As such, HAp is currently being investigated as a therapeutic biomaterial for orthopedic and dental purposes. Recent studies have suggested that extracellular nHAp can influence osteoblast lineage commitment and cell function through changes in gene expression; however, the mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, the cellular and molecular mechanism by which rod-shaped nHAp (10 × 100 nm) stimulates gene expression in preosteoblast bone marrow stromal cells was investigated. Electron microscopy detected a rapid and stable interaction of nHAp with the cell membrane, which correlated with a strong stimulation of the Erk1/2 signaling pathway. Results also identified the requirement of the Fgf receptor signaling and phosphate-transporters for nHAp regulated gene expression whereas a calcium-sensing receptor inhibitor had no effect. Collectively, the study uncovers novel signaling pathways and cellular events specifically stimulated by and required for the cellular response to free extracellular HAp. The results provide insight into the osteoblastic response to HAp relevant to functional mineralization and pathological calcification and could be used in the development of biomaterials for orthopedic purposes.
