Article in Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03442985 (A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of Palovarotene in Subjects With Multiple Osteochondromas), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE), also known as multiple osteochondromas (MO), is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of multiple cartilage-capped bone tumors (osteochondromas). The large majority of patients with MHE carry loss-of-function mutations in the EXT1 or EXT2 gene, which encodes a glycosyltransferase essential for heparan sulfate (HS) biosynthesis. Increasing evidence suggests that enhanced bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling resulting from loss of HS expression plays a role in osteochondroma formation in MHE. Palovarotene (PVO) is a retinoic acid receptor γ selective agonist, which is being investigated as a potential drug for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), another genetic bone disorder with features that overlap with those of MHE. Here we show that PVO inhibits osteochondroma formation in the Fsp1
