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

At present, the molecular mechanism underlying the protective effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 remains unclear. The present study was designed to investigate whether Ginsenoside Rb1 weakened the steroid‑induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) and to explore the possible mechanisms of the above effects. As a result, it was revealed that Ginsenoside Rb1 was protective against steroid‑induced avascular necrosis and inhibited serum osteocalcin in a rat model of SANFH. Ginsenoside Rb1 reduced inflammation, oxidative stress and bone cell apoptosis in a rat model of SANFH. Furthermore, Ginsenoside Rb1 attenuated trabecula parameters, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein/high density lipoprotein in SANFH rat. Additionally, Ginsenoside Rb1 significantly reversed alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin activities, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, VEGF, Runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)‑2 protein expression in SANFH rat. Collectively, the present study demonstrated that Ginsenoside Rb1 attenuated SANFH through the VEGF/RUNX2/BMP‑2 signaling pathway.
