The endocannabinoid system and retinoic acid signaling combine to influence bone growth.
Article in Molecular and cellular endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Osteoporosis is an increasing burden on public health as the world-wide population ages and effective therapeutics are severely needed. Two pathways with high potential for osteoporosis treatment are the retinoic acid (RA) and endocannabinoid system (ECS) signaling pathways. We sought to elucidate the roles that these pathways play in bone development and maturation. Here, we use chemical treatments to modulate the RA and ECS pathways at distinct early, intermediate, and late times bone development in zebrafish. We further assessed osteoclast activity later in zebrafish and medaka. Finally, by combining sub-optimal doses of AR and ECS modulators, we show that enhancing RA signaling or reducing the ECS promote bone formation and decrease osteoclast abundance and activity. These data demonstrate that RA signaling and the ECS can be combined as sub-optimal doses to influence bone growth and may be key targets for potential therapeutics.
