"Betaone" barley water extract suppresses ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in vivo and RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in vitro.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Betaone is a variety of barley developed by the Korea Rural Development Administration. This study investigated the anti-osteoporosis effects of Betaone barley water extract (B1W) on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss in mice. To elucidate its mechanism, the effect of B1W on osteoclasts was assessed by measuring the protein expression of nuclear factor-activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), the expression of genes involved in osteoclast differentiation, and bone pit assays. B1W (300 mg/kg/day) significantly increased bone mineral density and bone volume fraction, but decreased trabecular separation compared to the OVX group. B1W also showed a trend towards decreasing serum C-telopeptide of collagen type 1 levels in OVX mice. Additionally, B1W reduced the expression of NFATc1 and downregulated the mRNA expression levels of various marker genes such as c-Fos, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K (CTSK), dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), and osteoclast-associated Ig-like receptor (OSCAR). B1W reduced the osteoclast activity in the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-treated osteoclasts by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Based on the results, B1W can be considered a useful candidate for a therapeutic agent for treating conditions of bone loss and could also be used as an ingredient in health supplements.
