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

Strontium is a drug with the bone formation and anti-resorption effects on bone. The underlying mechanisms for the dual effect of strontium on bone metabolism, especially for the anti-resorption effects remain unknown. Thus, we aim to investigate the mechanisms of effects of strontium on osteoclastogenesis. Firstly, we found that strontium decreased the levels of important biomarkers of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) which induced osteoclast differentiation, indicating that strontium might directly inhibit osteoclast differentiation. Next, we revealed that strontium enhanced Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 6 (LRP6)/β-catenin/osteoprotegerin (OPG) signaling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells. The signaling pathway may negatively regulate osteoclastogenesis. Thus, strontium indirectly inhibited RANKL induced osteoclast differentiation. Finally, we revealed that OPG was targeted by miR-181d-5p as determined by luciferase reporter assay and downregulated by miR-181d-5p at both mRNA and protein levels as determined by western blot.
