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

Anti-transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a promising approach for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). To date, preclinical and clinical studies for the use of anti-TGF-β therapy have focused on moderate to severe OI caused by qualitative defects in collagen. However, the majority of OI patients are represented by type I OI. Mutations resulting in the haploinsufficiency of type I collagen is the cause of OI type I in the majority of patients. To study the effect of anti-TGF-β therapy in type I OI, we generated a novel mouse model for OI type I. CMV-CRE mice were crossed to mice where Col1a1 was floxed between exon 2 and 5 to create a full body heterozygous deletion of Col1a1. Haploinsufficiency of Col1a1 in the tibia was confirmed by decreased Col1a1 mRNA and protein expression. Comparable to OI patients, we observed reduced bone mass by μCT in these Col1a1+/- mice. Biomechanical measurements showed a decrease in bone strength and an increase in bone brittleness. Histomorphometric analysis showed an increase in osteoclast number and a trend towards increased osteoblast number supporting a high bone turnover phenotype, similar to OI type I patients. Upon treatment with a pan anti-TGF-β antibody, 1D11, Col1a1+/- mice showed increased bone mass and improved ultimate strength, but measures of ductility did not show improvement. Overall, our findings support expanding the study of anti-TGF-β treatment to OI caused by haploinsufficiency of type I collagen.
