EGFL7 Secreted By Human Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Osteoblast Differentiation Partly Via Downregulation Of Notch1-Hes1 Signaling Pathway.
Article in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundEpidermal growth factor-like domain protein 7 (EGFL7) is a secreted protein that is differentially expressed in the bone microenvironment; however, the effect of EGFL7 on the osteogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) is largely unknown.
methodsEGFL7 expression in the fracture microenvironment was analyzed based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Knockdown of EGFL7 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and in vitro stimulation with recombinant human EGFL7 (rhEGFL7) protein were used to assess alterations in downstream signaling and changes in the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of hBMSCs. A γ-secretase inhibitor was used to further explore whether inhibition of Notch signaling rescued the osteogenic-inhibitory effect of EGFL7 knockdown in hBMSCs. A femoral defect model was established to verify the effect of recombinant mouse EGFL7 on bone healing in vivo.
resultsEGFL7 expression increased during hBMSC osteogenesis. Knockdown of EGFL7 impaired hBMSC osteogenesis and activated Notch1/NICD/Hes1 signaling. rhEGFL7 promoted hBMSC osteogenesis and downregulated Notch1 signaling. The osteoblast-inhibitory effect of EGFL7 knockdown was rescued by Notch1 signaling inhibition. Recombinant EGFL7 led to enhanced bone healing in mice with femoral defects.
conclusionsEGFL7 promotes osteogenesis of hBMSCs partly via downregulation of Notch1 signaling.
