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
backgroundGlucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is a leading secondary cause of osteoporosis. Cullin-1 (CUL1) levels are abnormally elevated in patients with osteoporosis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of action of CUL1 in a glucocorticoid (dexamethasone, Dex)-induced osteoporosis model.
methodsC57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with Dex to establish an osteoporosis model. Mouse femur bone injury and bone formation were detected using hematoxylin-eosin or Masson staining. Apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcified nodules were monitored using ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. The molecular mechanism was validated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and ubiquitination assays.
resultsCUL1 expression was enhanced in the Dex-induced osteoporosis mouse model. CUL1 silencing moderated the Dex-induced cell proliferation and osteogenesis inhibition. Moreover, CUL1 promoted the ubiquitination and degradation of ASAP1 via the SKP1-CUL1-F-box (SCF)-FBXW7 complex. CUL1 induced apoptosis and repressed osteogenesis by ASAP1. CUL1 silencing alleviated the Dex-induced osteoporosis in mice.
conclusionCUL1 suppressed osteoblast proliferation and osteogenesis by promoting ASAP1 ubiquitination via the SCF-FBXW7 complex in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
