Distinct role of Klotho in long bone and craniofacial bone: skeletal development, repair and regeneration.
Review in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Bone defects are highly prevalent diseases caused by trauma, tumors, inflammation, congenital malformations and endocrine abnormalities. Ideally effective and side effect free approach to dealing with bone defects remains a clinical conundrum. Klotho is an important protein, which plays an essential role in regulating aging and mineral ion homeostasis. More recently, research revealed the function of Klotho in regulating skeleton development and regeneration. Klotho has been identified in mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts in different skeleton regions. The specific function and regulatory mechanisms of Klotho in long bone and craniofacial bone vary due to their different embryonic development, ossification and cell types, which remain unclear and without conclusion. Moreover, studies have confirmed that Klotho is a multifunctional protein that can inhibit inflammation, resist cancer and regulate the endocrine system, which may further accentuate the potential of Klotho to be the ideal molecule in inducing bone restoration clinically. Besides, as an endogenous protein, Klotho has a promising potential for clinical therapy without side effects. In the current review, we summarized the specific function of Klotho in long bone and craniofacial skeleton from phenotype to cellular alternation and signaling pathway. Moreover, we illustrated the possible future clinical application for Klotho. Further research on Klotho might help to solve the existing clinical difficulties in bone healing and increase the life quality of patients with bone injury and the elderly.
