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

Wear particle-stimulated inflammatory bone destruction and the consequent aseptic loosening remain the primary causes of artificial prosthesis failure and revision. Previous studies have demonstrated that curcumin has a protective effect on bone disorders and inflammatory diseases and can ameliorate polymethylmethacrylate-induced osteolysis in vivo. However, the effect on immunomodulation and the definitive mechanism by which curcumin reduces the receptor activators of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-stimulated osteoclast formation and prevents the activation of osteoclastic signalling pathways are unclear. In this work, the immunomodulation effect and anti-osteoclastogenesis capacities exerted by curcumin on titanium nanoparticle-stimulated macrophage polarization and on RANKL-mediated osteoclast activation and differentiation in osteoclastic precursor cells in vitro were investigated. As expected, curcumin inhibited RANKL-stimulated osteoclast maturation and formation and had an immunomodulatory effect on macrophage polarization in vitro. Furthermore, studies aimed to identify the potential molecular and cellular mechanisms revealed that this protective effect of curcumin on osteoclastogenesis occurred through the amelioration of the activation of Akt/NF-κB/NFATc1 pathways. Additionally, an in vivo mouse calvarial bone destruction model further confirmed that curcumin ameliorated the severity of titanium nanoparticle-stimulated bone loss and destruction. Our results conclusively indicated that curcumin, a major biologic component of Curcuma longa with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for osteoclastic diseases.
