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

backgroundOsteoporosis is one of the most closely related diseases associated with the elderly. In recent years, the studies found that gut microbiota can cause osteoporosis. We evaluated the role of Bacillus acidophilus in osteoporosis and its roles in proliferation and differentiation.

methodsWe selected 5 healthy people and 10 osteoporosis patients and analyzed their level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and procollagen type I N-terminal peptide (PINP), the characteristic of gut microbiota. The effect of lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus supernatant and butanoic acids on proliferation, differentiation, and maturity of osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 and osteoclasts RAW 264.7 cells and the activity of alkaline phosphatase, concentration of osteocalcin, and the expression of RUNX2, RANK, NFATc1, cathepsin K, DC-STAMP, OSCAR, WNT2, and CTNNB1 were measured in the above cell lines.

resultsThe diversity of gut microbiota in osteoporosis patients is decreased and imbalanced with lower abundance of lactobacillus and butyric acid bacteria; meanwhile, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and PINP of osteoporosis patient were significantly lower than the normal group. The proliferation, differentiation, and maturity of MC3T3-E1 cells were stimulated; the activity of alkaline phosphatase, concentration of osteocalcin, and the expression of RUNX2, NFATc1, cathepsin K, DC-STAMP, OSCAR, WNT2, and CTNNB1 were improved by supernatant of lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and butanoic acids; however, the proliferation, differentiation, maturity, and the expression of RANK, NFATc1, cathepsin K, DC-STAMP, OSCAR, WNT2, and CTNNB1 in RAW 264.7 cells were suppressed.

conclusionsThe lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus supernatant could stimulate the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of osteoblasts; the production of butyric acid may be the potential mechanism.
