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

Kaempferol has been reported to exhibit beneficial effect on the osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and osteoblasts. In our previous study, dexamethasone (DEX) demonstrated inhibitory effect on MC3T3-E1 cells differentiation. In this study, we mainly explored the protective effect of kaempferol on the inhibitory activity of DEX in the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells. We found that kaempferol ameliorated the proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and cell apoptosis and increased the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the mineralization in DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells. Kaempferol also significantly enhanced the expression of osterix (Osx) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with DEX. In addition, kaempferol attenuated DEX-induced reduction of cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 expression and elevation of p53 and Bax expression. Kaempferol also activated JNK and p38-MAPK pathways in DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, kaempferol improved bone mineralization in DEX-induced bone damage in a zebrafish larvae model. These data suggested that kaempferol ameliorated the inhibitory activity of DEX in the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells by activating JNK and p38-MAPK signaling pathways. Kaempferol exhibited great potentials in developing new drugs for treating glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
