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

Chronic inflammation during many diseases is associated with bone loss. While interferons (IFNs) are often inhibitory to osteoclast formation, the complex role that IFN and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) play in osteoimmunology during inflammatory diseases is still poorly understood. We show that mice deficient in IFN signaling components including IFN alpha and beta receptor 1 (IFNAR1), interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), IRF9, and STAT1 each have reduced bone density and increased osteoclastogenesis compared to wild type mice. The IFN-inducible guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) on mouse chromosome 3 (GBP1, GBP2, GBP3, GBP5, GBP7) are required to negatively regulate age-associated bone loss and osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, GBP2 and GBP5 both negatively regulate in vitro osteoclast differentiation, and loss of GBP5, but not GBP2, results in greater age-associated bone loss in mice. Moreover, mice deficient in GBP5 or chromosome 3 GBPs have greater LPS-mediated inflammatory bone loss compared to wild type mice. Overall, we find that GBP5 contributes to restricting age-associated and inflammation-induced bone loss by negatively regulating osteoclastogenesis.
