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

Human genetic evidence demonstrates that WNT1 mutations cause osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and early-onset osteoporosis, implicating WNT1 as a major regulator of bone metabolism. However, its main cellular source and mechanisms of action in bone remain elusive. We generated global and limb bud mesenchymal cell-targeted deletion of Wnt1 in mice. Heterozygous deletion of Wnt1 resulted in mild trabecular osteopenia due to decreased osteoblast function. Targeted deletion of Wnt1 in mesenchymal progenitors led to spontaneous fractures due to impaired osteoblast function and increased bone resorption, mimicking the severe OI phenotype in humans with homozygous WNT1 mutations. Importantly, we showed for the first time that Wnt1 signals strictly in a juxtacrine manner to induce osteoblast differentiation and to suppress osteoclastogenesis, in part via canonical Wnt signaling. In conclusion, mesenchymal cell-derived Wnt1, acting in short range, is an essential regulator of bone homeostasis and an intriguing target for therapeutic interventions for bone diseases. © 2019 The Authors.
