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

Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant antioxidant in the cell, and it is responsible for neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can promote osteoclast differentiation and stimulate bone resorption and are some of the primary drivers of bone loss with aging and loss of sex steroids. Despite this, the role of GSH biosynthesis during osteoclastogenesis remains controversial. Here, we show that the requirements for GSH biosynthesis during osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo are unique. Using a metabolomics approach, we discovered that both oxidative stress and GSH biosynthesis increase during osteoclastogenesis. Inhibiting GSH biosynthesis in vitro via the pharmacological or genetic inhibition of glutamate cysteine ligase (GCLC) prevented osteoclast differentiation. Conversely, the genetic ablation of GCLC in myeloid cells using
