Insufficient Mechanical Loading Downregulates Piezo1 in Chondrocytes and Impairs Fracture Healing Through ApoE-Induced Senescence.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Insufficient mechanical loading impairs fracture healing; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Increasing evidence indicates that Piezo1 plays an important role in fracture healing, although the effect of Piezo1 on the endochondral ossification of chondrocytes has been overlooked. This study reports that mechanical unloading down-regulates the expression of Piezo1 in chondrocytes and leads to fracture nonunion. Single-cell sequencing of calluses revealed that specific deletion of Piezo1 in chondrocytes upregulated the expression of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) in hypertrophic chondrocytes, resulting in delayed cartilage-to-bone transition due to enhanced chondrocyte senescence. Based on these results, an injectable and thermosensitive hydrogel is developed, which released an ApoE antagonist in situ at the fracture site. This hydrogel effectively attenuated chondrocyte senescence and, thus, promoted cartilage-to-bone transition as well as the fracture healing process. Overall, this data provide a new perspective on the activity of chondrocytes in fracture healing and a new direction for the treatment of fracture nonunion caused by insufficient mechanical loading.
