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

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by a disruption in the balance between bone resorption and formation. The specific role and mechanism of stomatin (STOM), a major component of lipid rafts, in regulating bone physiology remain unclear. This research identifies increased STOM expression in bone tissue of osteoporosis patients and ovariectomized mice. STOM-deficient mice show higher bone mass under both normal conditions and after ovariectomy. Furthermore, we clarify that STOM is a positive regulator of osteoclast differentiation. Through transcriptomic and bioinformatics approaches, our research reveals that inhibiting STOM increases antioxidant proteins and suppresses ROS-mediated transcriptional pathways in osteoclasts. Mechanistically, STOM interacts with Prdx1, promoting its degradation through the lysosomal pathway and boosting intracellular ROS production, thereby activating osteoclastogenesis. Ultimately, targeted inhibition of macrophage STOM expression in mice alleviates ovariectomized-induced bone loss. Overall, these findings show STOM directly regulates osteoclasts, suggesting that targeting it may modulate pathological bone remodeling.
