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

As an enticing bone anabolic target, short-term inhibition of Schnurri-3 (SHN3) resulted in high-bone mass due to augmented osteoblast activity. However, no studies are conducted to identify natural products targeting SHN3 inhibition. Herein, a screening strategy for the discovery of marine compounds that facilitate osteoblast differentiation by targeting SHN3 silencing is presented. One leading quinolinone alkaloid, viridicatol (VDC), isolated from deep-sea-derived fungus, vigorously promotes osteogenic differentiation via the Wnt/SHN3 signaling pathway in osteoblasts, thereby preventing osteoporosis while enhancing bone-fracture healing in a mouse model. Subsequently, the SDSSD (Ser, Asp, Ser, Ser, Asp) is further employed to engineer bone-targeting nanovesicles (BT-NVs) for the optimal delivery of VDC to osteoblasts, which mitigates the bone loss observed in a severe osteogenesis imperfecta model. Hence, these results initially uncover a promising marine natural product, VDC, targeting the Wnt/SHN3 pathway for the treatment of bone loss and highlighting its translational potential in clinical applications.
