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
Osteoporosis is a silent systemic disease that causes bone deterioration, and affects over 10 million people in the US alone. This study was undertaken to develop a potential stem cell therapy for osteoporosis. We have isolated and expanded human dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs), characterized them, and confirmed their multipotential differentiation abilities. Stem cells often remain quiescent and require activation to differentiate and function. Herein, we show that ferutinin activates DPSCs by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and key osteoblast-secreted proteins osteocalcin and collagen 1A1 both mRNA and protein levels. To confirm that ferutinin modulates the Wnt pathway, we inhibited glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and found that protein expression patterns were similar to those found in ferutinin-treated DPSCs. To evaluate the role of ferutinin in epigenetic regulation of canonical Wnt signaling, the pathway molecules Wnt3a and Dvl3 were analyzed using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-quantitative PCR approaches. We confirmed that active marks of both H3K9 acetylation and H3K4 trimethylation were significantly enhanced in the promoter sites of the WNT3A and DVL3 genes in DPSCs after addition of ferutinin. These data provide evidence that ferutinin activates and promotes osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs, and could be used as an inducer as a potentially effective stem cell therapy for osteoporosis.
