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: Cell culture studies demonstrate the importance of β3 integrin in osteocyte mechanotransduction. However, the Materials and methods: To study the Results: Deletion of β3 integrin in osteocytes resulted in a low bone mass and impaired biomechanical properties in load-bearing long bones in adult mice. The loss of β3 integrin led to abnormal cell morphology with reduced number and length of dentritic processes in osteocytes. Furthermore, osteocyte β3 integrin loss did not impact the osteoclast formation, but significantly reduced the osteoblast-mediated bone formation rate and reduced the osteogenic differentiation of the bone marrow stromal cells in the bone microenvironment. In addition, mechanical loading failed to accelerate the anabolic bone formation in mutant mice. Conclusions: Our studies demonstrate the essential roles of osteocyte β3 integrin in regulating bone mass and mechanotransduction.
