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

WNT16 stands up as an essential gene for bone homeostasis. Here, we present new evidence of the functional role of a particular region within WNT16. Performing 4 C chromatin conformation analysis in three osteoblast-related cells (the human fetal osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell line, Saos 2 osteosarcoma cell line and mesenchymal Stem Cells -MSC-), we identify physical interactions between the proximal part of WNT16 intron 2, shown here to be an active promoter in Saos 2 osteosarcoma cells, and several putative regulatory regions within CPED1. Analysis of previously published RNA-seq data from hFOB cells disclosed low expression of a region located downstream of this promoter. Our results suggest a novel regulatory mechanism of WNT16 in bone, mediated by physical interaction with various enhancer regions within CPED1.
