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

Long-term administration of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates increases the risk of detrimental side effects, such as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). BRONJ development is associated with inflammation, but its pathophysiology remains unknown. Here, we examined whether histone methylation is responsible for zoledronic acid (Zol)-induced inflammatory responses. We found that Kdm6a and Kdm6b markedly increased interleukin 1β expression and Gasdermin D cleavage, which are both activated by Caspase 1, in macrophages. Inhibitors of Kdm6a and Kdm6b robustly abolished Zol-enhanced interleukin 1β synthesis and secretion from macrophages. When Kdm6a and Kdm6b were pharmacologically inhibited in vivo, poor healing of the alveolar socket and inflammatory responses were ameliorated in Zol-treated mice. Taken together, we showed the pathologic role of Kdm6a and Kdm6b in Zol-promoted inflammatory responses and demonstrated that Kdm6a and Kdm6b are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of BRONJ.
