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

Bone contains multiple pools of skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), and SSPCs in periosteal compartments are known to exhibit higher regenerative potential than those in BM and endosteal compartments. However, the in vivo identity and hierarchical relationships of periosteal SSPCs (P-SSPCs) remain unclear due to a lack of reliable markers to distinguish BM SSPCs and P-SSPCs. Here, we found that periosteal mesenchymal progenitor cells (P-MPs) in periosteum can be identified based on Postn-CreERT2 expression. Postn-expressing periosteal subpopulation produces osteolineage descendants that fuel bones to maintain homeostasis and support regeneration. Notably, Postn+ P-MPs are likely derived from Gli1+ skeletal stem cells (SSCs). Ablation of Postn+ cells results in impairments in homeostatic cortical bone architecture and defects in fracture repair. Genetic deletion of Igf1r in Postn+ cells dampens bone fracture healing. In summary, our study provides a mechanistic understanding of bone regeneration through the regulation of region-specific Postn+ P-MPs.
