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.
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
Astragaloside (AST) is derived from the Chinese herb <em>Astragalus membranaceus</em>, and studies have demonstrated that it promotes differentiation of bone marrow‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). To the best of our knowledge, however, the functions of the component AST‑IV in osteogenesis have not previously been elucidated. The present study aimed to verify the effects of AST‑IV in osteogenesis. First, the proliferation and differentiation status of human BMSCs incubated with AST‑IV were analysed and compared with a control (no AST‑IV treatment). In order to determine the involvement of the glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3β signalling pathway in AST‑IV, overexpression and inhibition of GSK3β was induced during incubation of BMSCs with AST‑IV. In order to investigate how neuronal growth factor (NGF) contributes to BMSCs differentiation, BMSCs were co‑incubated with an anti‑NGF antibody and AST IV, and then levels of osteogenesis markers were assessed. The results demonstrated for the first time that AST‑IV contributed to BMSCs differentiation. Furthermore, the GSK3β/β‑catenin signalling pathway was revealed to be involved in AST‑IV‑induced osteogenesis; moreover, AST‑IV accelerated differentiation by enhancing the expression levels of NGF. In summary, the present study demonstrated that AST‑IV promotes BMSCs differentiation, thus providing a potential target for the treatment of osteoporosis.
