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

The ganglioside GD1a has been reported to promote the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts in cell culture systems. However, the involvement of gangliosides, including GD1a, in bone formation in vivo remains unknown; therefore, we herein investigated their roles in GM2/GD2 synthase-knockout (GM2/GD2S KO) mice without GD1a. The femoral cancellous bone mass was analyzed using three-dimensional micro-computed tomography. A histomorphometric analysis of bone using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase was performed to examine bone formation and resorption, respectively. Calcein double labeling was also conducted to evaluate bone formation. Although no significant differences were observed in bone mass or resorption between GM2/GD2S KO mice and wild-type (WT) mice, analyses of the parameters of bone formation using HE staining and calcein double labeling revealed less bone formation in GM2/GD2S KO mice than in WT mice. These results suggest that gangliosides play roles in bone formation.
