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 osteoclast formation from mononuclear phagocyte precursors involves interactions between members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand superfamily and their receptors. Recent evidence indicated that TNF-α-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces osteoclast differentiation via a TRAF6-dependent signaling pathway; but paradoxically, it inhibits RANK ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. Although a number of signaling pathways were linked to the RANK and osteoclastogenesis, it is not known how TRAIL regulates RANK signaling. In this study, we demonstrate that TRAIL regulates RANK-induced osteoclastogenesis in terms of the assembly of lipid raft-associated signaling complexes. RANKL stimulation induced recruitment of TRAF6, c-Src, and DAP-12 into lipid rafts. However, the RANKL-induced assembly of lipid raft-associated signaling complexes and TRAF6 recruitment was abolished in the presence of TRAIL. TRAIL-induced dissociation of RANKL-induced lipid raft signaling complexes was reversed by treatment with TRAIL receptor (TRAIL-R) siRNA or an anti-TRAIL-R blocking antibody, indicating that TRAIL mediates suppression of RANKL-induced lipid raft signaling via interactions with TRAIL-R. Finally, we demonstrated that TRAIL suppressed inflammation-induced bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat animal model. Our results provide a novel apoptosis-independent role of TRAIL in regulating RANK signaling and suppresses osteoclast activation via inhibiting lipid raft assembly and TRAF6 recruitment.
