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

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) increases bone fragility and the risk of fractures, and impairs the healing procedure of bone defects in aged women. The stromal cell‑derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis helps to maintain the biological and physiological functions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and increase the homing efficiency of BMSCs. The present study aimed to provide insights into the possible association between migration and osteogenic ability and the SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis in BMSCs derived from a rat model of PMO. In order to do this, the general and SDF-1α/CXCR4-associated biological characteristics as well as associated molecular mechanisms in BMSCs isolated from a PMO rat model (OVX-BMSCs) and normal rats (Sham‑BMSCs) were investigated and compared. In comparison with Sham-BMSCs, OVX-BMSCs exhibited an impaired osteo-genic ability, but a stronger adipogenic activity as well as a higher proliferative ability. In addition, OVX-BMSCs presented a lower chemotactic activity towards SDF-1α, lower expression levels of CXCR4 and reduced levels of phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT). Therefore, the lower expression levels of CXCR4 and p-AKT may be responsible for the impaired osteogenic ability and lower chemotactic activity towards SDF-1α of OVX-BMSCs.
