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

Osteoporosis is a common disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk. The current techniques detect real‑time BMD precisely but do not provide adequate information to predict early bone loss. If bone loss could be diagnosed and predicted early, severe osteoporosis and unexpected fractures could be prevented, allowing for an improved quality of life for individuals. In the present study, an ovariectomized rat model of bone loss was established and the serum levels of 78 potential cytokines were determined using a protein array. The BMD of ovariectomized rats was dynamically measured by micro‑CT and the early stage of bone loss was defined at the fourth week after surgery. The expression of several serum protein cytokines was indicated to be altered in the ovariectomized rats during an 8‑week time‑course of bone loss. Linear regression analysis revealed that the serum levels of C‑C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) and C‑X‑C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) were significantly associated with a reduction in BMD. The significance of these two factors in indicating bone mass reduction was further verified by analyzing serum samples from 24 patients with BMD using ELISA and performing a linear regression analysis. The serum levels of CCL2 and CXCL1 were inversely correlated with the bone mass. Therefore, the cytokines CCL2 and CXCL1 may be potential novel predictors of early bone loss and may be clinically relevant for the early diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis.
