Wnt7b overexpression in osteoblasts stimulates bone formation and reduces obesity in mice on a high-fat diet.
Article in JBMR plus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Previous studies have shown that Wnt7b potently stimulates bone formation by promoting osteoblast differentiation and activity. As high-fat feeding leads to obesity and systemic metabolic dysregulation, here we investigate the potential benefit of Wnt7b overexpression in osteoblasts on both bone and whole-body metabolism in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Wnt7b overexpression elicited massive overgrowth of trabecular and cortical bone but seemed to ameliorate body fat accumulation in mice with prolonged HFD feeding. In addition, Wnt7b overexpression modestly improved glucose tolerance in male mice on HFD. Collectively, the results indicate that targeted overexpression of Wnt7b in osteoblasts not only stimulates bone formation but also improves certain aspects of global metabolism in overnourished mice.
