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

We explored how tabersonine (Tab) protected against dexamethasone (Dex)-induced osteoporosis. Osteoblasts were treated with Dex (100 µM) with or without Table (5 or 10 µM). We measured cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mitochondrial superoxide and reactive oxygen species levels. We used flow cytometry to explore the effects of Tab on mitochondrial membrane potential and osteoblast apoptosis. We used RT-PCR and western blotting to examine the effect of Tab on protein expression. We evaluated the effects of Tab on bone histopathology and bone mineral density in rats with Dex-induced osteoporosis. Tab increased cell viability and ALP activity, and reduced the mitochondrial superoxide, reactive oxygen species and matrix metalloproteinase levels and osteoblast apoptosis. Tab significantly reduced the levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), haem oxygenase-1 and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1. Moreover, it increased the levels of mRNAs encoding runt-related transcription factor 2, bone morphogenetic protein-2 and osterix. These data suggest that Tab ameliorates Dex-induced osteoporosis by regulating the Nrf2 signalling pathway.
