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

Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced avascular osteonecrosis of femoral head (AOFH) is a devastating complication, and no cures are currently available for it. Previous studies have demonstrated that implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) may prevent the progression of pre-collapse AOFH. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that GCs induce AOFH via the COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2)-PGE-2 (prostaglandin E2)-HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α) axis, and that modification of BMMSCs may improve the efficacy of their implantation. BMMSCs isolated from wild-type (WT) mice were treated with dexamethasone (Dex) and the results showed that Dex repressed the expression of COX-2. Femoral head samples harvested from both WT and COX-2 knock-out (COX-2
