Diosgenin protects against alveolar bone loss in ovariectomized rats via regulating long non-coding RNAs.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 present study assessed the changes in long non-coding (lnc)RNA and mRNA expression profiles when diosgenin (DIO) exerted a potential osteoprotective effect on the alveolar bone of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Female Wistar rats underwent a sham operation (SHAM group) or ovariectomy. OVX rats were treated using vehicle (OVX group), DIO (DIO group) or estradiol valerate (EV group) for 12 weeks. After treatment, the biomarkers of bone turnover in plasma and the microstructure of alveolar bone were assessed. lncRNA microarrays were applied to assess lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in alveolar bone in the OVX and DIO group rats. Subsequently, the differentially expressed mRNAs associated with the comprehensive bone metabolism pathway in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were identified and regarded as key mRNAs. Based on some of the key mRNAs and all the differentially expressed lncRNAs, a coexpression network was established and this network was further analyzed to identify the top 6 lncRNAs with the highest closeness scores (pivotal lncRNAs). Finally, 6 modules showing interactions between pivotal lncRNAs and key mRNAs were constructed. All of the pivotal lncRNAs and key mRNAs were validated with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The present findings demonstrated that DIO suppressed the loss of alveolar bone in OVX rats, and the changes to the expression of some lncRNAs or mRNAs occurred in the alveolar bone of the rats in the DIO group. Twenty-four key mRNAs were identified during pathway analysis. Furthermore, 8/24 key mRNAs (
