The effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide on RANKL-induced osteoclast formation.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundCongenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is a rare disease characterized by an imbalance in bone remodeling. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) has been proven to modulate bone resorption and the formation of osteoclasts. This study aimed to explore the effects of VIP on the homeostasis of bone metabolism in diverse
methodsBone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were differentiated into tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells through incubation with receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF).
resultsVIP was observed to repress osteoclast differentiation without affecting the number of osteoclast precursor cells. Furthermore, the modulation of the RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways were involved in the inhibitive influence of VIP upon bone erosion. Additionally, VIP affected the expression levels of osteoclastic factors including
conclusionsVIP plays a critical role in bone remodeling and might serve as a potential target in the development of treatments for congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.
