Alendronate and omeprazole in combination reduce angiogenic and growth signals from osteoblasts.
Article in Bone reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveDue to gastrointestinal side effects of oral bisphosphonates (BPs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed. PPIs may enhance the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw, a rare side effect of BPs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the oral BP alendronate (ALN) and the PPI omeprazole (OME) alone and in combination on primary human osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts in vitro.
methodsHuman gingival fibroblasts and normal human osteoblasts were incubated with either 5 μM of ALN or 1 μM of OME, or ALN + OME for 1, 3, 7 or 14 days. Effect on viability was evaluated by the lactate dehydrogenase activity in the medium and on proliferation by quantifying 3H-thymidin incorporation. Multianalyte profiling of proteins in cell culture media was performed using the Luminex 200TM system to assess the effect on selected bone markers and cytokines.
resultsThe proliferation of osteoblasts and fibroblasts was reduced upon exposure to ALN + OME. ALN induced an early, temporary rise in markers of inflammation, and OME and ALN + OME promoted a transient decline. An initial increase in IL-13 occurred after exposure to all three options, whereas ALN + OME promoted IL-8 release after 7 days. OME and ALN + OME promoted a transient reduction in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from osteoblasts, whereas ALN and ALN + OME induced a late rise in VEGF from fibroblasts. Osteoprotegerin release was enhanced by ALN and suppressed by OME and ALN + OME.
conclusionsALN + OME seemed to exaggerate the negative effects of each drug alone on human osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts. The anti-proliferative effects, modulation of inflammation and impairment of angiogenesis, may induce unfavorable conditions in periodontal tissue facilitating development of osteonecrosis.
