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

Bone remodeling process is the basis for maintaining normal bone microstructure and promoting fracture repair. Recent studies have proven that integrins can promote bone formation and fracture repair. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK), as the proximal effector of the integrin receptor, is a key protein factor linking integrin and cytoskeleton. It is involved in crucial cellular processes including proliferation, survival, differentiation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis reflects on systemic changes in the kidney, heart, muscle, skin, and vascular system. At present, the regulation effect of ILK in bone formation attracts the attention of researchers. This review emphasizes that ILK as a key molecule affects the functions of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and osteoblasts, and regulates bone formation. Additionally, ILK plays a key role in the process of"angiogenic-osteogenic coupling ". The present role of ILK in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis is also described. Strategies that target ILK may as a new prospective treatment for osteoporosis (OP).
