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

backgroundOsteoporosis is a common bone disease in elderly population caused by imbalanced bone formation and bone resorption. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for maintaining this bone homeostasis. The phenotype of transmembrane 9 superfamily 4 (TM9SF4) knockout mice suggests a relationship between TM9SF4 proteins and bone homeostasis. But the effect of TM9SF4 in osteology has never been reported. In the present study, we investigated the function of TM9SF4 in MSC differentiation commitment, as well as its role in osteoporosis.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates TM9SF4 as a novel regulator for MSC lineage commitment. Depletion of TM9SF4 preferentially drives MSCs into osteoblasts instead of adipocytes. Furthermore, TM9SF4
