Single-Cell Integration of BMD GWAS Results Prioritize Candidate Genes Influencing Age-Related Bone Loss.
Article in JBMR plus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The regulation of bone mineral density (BMD) is highly influenced by genetics and age. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for BMD have uncovered many genes through their proximity to associated variants (variant nearest-neighbor [VNN] genes), the cell-specific mechanisms of each VNN gene remain unclear. This is primarily due to the inability to prioritize these genes by cell type and age-related expression. Using age-related transcriptomics, we found that the expression of many VNN genes was upregulated in the bone and marrow from aged mice. Candidate genes from GWAS were investigated using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets to enrich for cell-specific expression signatures. VNN candidate genes are highly enriched in osteo-lineage cells, osteocytes, hypertrophic chondrocytes, and Lepr+ mesenchymal stem cells. These data were used to generate a "blueprint" for Cre-loxp mouse line selection for functional validation of candidate genes and further investigation of their role in BMD maintenance throughout aging. In VNN-gene-enriched cells,
