Elucidating the role of RBM5 in osteoclastogenesis: a novel potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease with multigene involved, and the molecular mechanisms of its pathogenesis are not entirely understood. This study aims to identify novel key genes involved in osteoporosis to discover potential pharmacological targets. We analyzed three microarray datasets and identified four differentially expressed genes. The LASSO model indicated that RNA-binding motif protein 5 (RBM5) is associated with osteoporosis and is a potential drug target. We conducted the Spearman correlation analysis and found 52 genes that were significantly related to RBM5. Enrichment analysis showed that these genes were primarily involved in RNA splicing and osteoclast differentiation pathways. By using lentivirus-based shRNA, we successfully knocked down RBM5 expression in RAW264.7 cell line, which showed that RBM5 knockdown significantly impaired their differentiation potential to mature osteoclasts and significantly inhibited bone-resorbing activity. RT-qPCR analyses revealed the expression of osteoclastogenesis marker genes was downregulated along with RBM5 expression. These findings suggest that RBM5 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and provides a new potential pharmacological target.
