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

Osteocalcin (Ocn), also known as bone Gla protein, is synthesized by osteoblasts and thought to regulate energy metabolism, testosterone synthesis and brain development. However, its function in bone is not fully understood. Mice have three Ocn genes: Bglap, Bglap2 and Bglap3. Due to the long span of these genes in the mouse genome and the low expression of Bglap3 in bone, researchers commonly use Bglap and Bglap2 knockout mice to investigate the function of Ocn. However, it is unclear whether Bglap3 has any compensatory mechanisms when Bglap and Bglap2 are knocked out. Considering the controversy surrounding the role of Ocn in bone, we constructed an Ocn-deficient mouse model by knocking out all three genes (Ocn
