Sfrp4 and the Biology of Cortical Bone.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purpose of reviewPeriosteal apposition and endosteal remodeling regulate cortical bone expansion and thickness, both critical determinants of bone strength. Yet, the cellular characteristics and local or paracrine factors that regulate the periosteum and endosteum remain largely elusive. Here we discuss novel insights in cortical bone growth, expansion, and homeostasis, provided by the study of Secreted Frizzled Receptor Protein 4 (Sfrp4), a decoy receptor for Wnt ligands. RECENT
findingsSFRP4 loss-of function mutations cause Pyle disease, a rare skeletal disorder characterized by cortical bone thinning and increased fragility fractures despite increased trabecular bone density. On the endosteal surface, Sfrp4-mediated repression of non-canonical Wnt signaling regulates endosteal resorption. On the periosteum, Sfrp4 identifies as a critical functional mediator of periosteal stem cell/progenitor expansion and differentiation. Analysis of signaling pathways regulating skeletal stem cells/progenitors provides an opportunity to advance our understanding of the mechanisms involved in cortical bone biology.
