VEGFA from osteoblasts is not required for lamellar bone formation following tibial loading.
Article in Bone, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The relationship between osteogenesis and angiogenesis is complex. Normal bone development requires angiogenesis, mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Studies have demonstrated through systemic inhibition or genetic modification that VEGFA is indispensable for several types of bone repair, presumably via its role in supporting angiogenesis. But a direct role for VEGFA within osteoblasts, in the absence of angiogenesis, has also been suggested. To address the question of whether VEGFA from osteoblasts supports bone formation directly, we applied anabolic loading to induce lamellar bone formation in mice, a process shown to be independent of angiogenesis. We hypothesized that VEGFA from osteoblasts is required for lamellar bone formation. To test this hypothesis, we applied axial tibial compression to inducible Cre/LoxP mice from three lines. Vegfa
