Lineage Tracing of RGS5-CreER-Labeled Cells in Long Bones During Homeostasis and Injury.
Article in Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio), 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
Regulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5) is a GTPase activator for heterotrimeric G-protein α-subunits, shown to be a marker of pericytes. Bone marrow stromal cell population (BMSCs) is heterogeneous. Populations of mesenchymal progenitors, cells supportive of hematopoiesis, and stromal cells regulating bone remodeling have been recently identified. Periosteal and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are participating in fracture healing, but it is difficult to distinguish the source of cells within the callus. Considering that perivascular cells exert osteoprogenitor potential, we generated an RGS5 transgenic mouse model (Rgs5-CreER) which when crossed with Ai9 reporter animals (Rgs5/Tomato), is suitable for lineage tracing during growth and post-injury. Flow cytometry analysis and histology confirmed the presence of Rgs5/Tomato+ cells within CD31+ endothelial, CD45+ hematopoietic, and CD31-CD45- mesenchymal/perivascular cells. A tamoxifen chase showed expansion of Rgs5/Tomato+ cells expressing osterix within the trabeculae positioned between mineralized matrix and vasculature. Long-term chase showed proportion of Rgs5/Tomato+ cells contributes to mature osteoblasts expressing osteocalcin. Following femoral fracture, Rgs5/Tomato+ cells are observed around newly formed bone within the BM cavity and expressed osterix and osteocalcin, while contribution within periosteum was low and limited to fibroblastic callus with very few positive chondrocytes. In addition, BM injury model confirmed that RGS5-Cre labels population of BMSCs expands during injury and participates in osteogenesis. Under homeostatic conditions, lineage-traced RGS5 cells within the trabecular area demonstrate osteoprogenitor capacity that in an injury model contributes to new bone formation primarily within the BM niche.
