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

Background: The elevating osteoclast differentiation can lead to an imbalance in bone homeostasis, which was responsible for bone loss and bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. Multiple pathways and molecules have been involved in osteoclast formation, but the role of CYP27A1 in osteoclast differentiation has never been explored. Methods: CYP27A1 deficient mice were constructed using CRISPR-Cas9 system. Osteoclast differentiation was detected by TRAP staining. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using RNA-seq analysis and were confirmed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results: The results showed that CYP27A1 knockout (KO) promoted osteoclast differentiation and bone loss. The transcriptomic analysis revealed that CYP27A1 KO led to differential expression of multiple genes, including ELANE, LY6C2, S100A9, GM20708, BGN, SPARC, and COL1A2, which were confirmed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Enrichment analysis indicated that these differential genes were significantly associated with osteogenesis-related pathways, such as PPAR signaling, IL-17 signaling, and PI3K/AKT signaling, which were confirmed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Conclusions: These results suggested that CYP27A1 was involved in osteoclast differentiation, providing a novel therapeutic target for osteoclast-related diseases.
