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

Copper is an indispensable trace metal element in human body, and copper deficiency is rare in clinic. However, diseases associated with serum copper deficiency, such as leukopenia, neutropenia, arthritis, osteoporosis, and bone defects, are well known. Copper ions can also achieve the effect of fighting pathogenic bacteria through the "contact killing" characteristic. Copper ion is also an important cofactor of bone matrix synthase, plays an important role in the pathophysiology of orthopedic diseases. The present review highlights the biological functions of copper in immunity, bone diseases and stem cells, as well as potential drug development targeting copper status for diagnostics and therapeutics of copper-associated bone diseases.
