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

Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells responsible for bone resorption. Various mediators involved in osteoclast differentiation have been investigated as possible therapeutic targets for osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFβ1) has been described as one such multifunctional cytokine essential for bone remodeling, its effect on osteoclastogenesis remains controversial. Therefore, we sought to examine the effect of TGFβ1 on osteoclast generation induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL) in humans. Peripheral blood monocytes, isolated using magnetic bead sorting, were cultured with macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) or RANKL with or without TGFβ1. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, as well as bone resorption assays, revealed that TGFβ1 suppressed RANKL-mediated human osteoclast development. Real-time reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting revealed that TGFβ1 reduced the gene and protein expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), the master regulator of osteoclast differentiation, respectively. Luciferase assays indicated that TGFβ1 inhibited the NF-κB p65-stimulated promoter activity of NFATc1. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that TGFβ1 abrogated RANKL-induced nuclear translocation of p65. Thus, TGFβ1 regulates human RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via downregulation of NFATc1 by blocking nuclear translocation of NF-κB, suggesting that TGFβ1 may be a potential therapeutic target for RA.
