Identification of a Novel Gene ARNT2 for Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The balance between adipogenesis and osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is pivotal for the maintenance of bone homeostasis. However, the genes responsible for regulating this balance are still not fully understood. This investigation sought to explore and identify novel genes that influence MSC differentiation into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, thereby enhancing bone formation. Four datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were utilized: three focused on osteogenic differentiation (GSE73087, GSE18043, GSE114117), and one on adipogenic differentiation (GSE37836). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during both osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation processes were analyzed using the limma R package. A sum of 471 common differentially expressed genes (CDEGs) were found in MSC osteogenesis, comprising 240 elevated and 231 reduced genes. Similarly, in MSCs adipogenesis, 204 elevated genes and 459 reduced genes were identified. Fourteen hub genes were found to overlap between the CDEGs associated with MSC osteogenesis and DEGs linked to adipogenic differentiation. Notably, the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (ARNT2) was elevated during osteogenesis but reduced during adipogenesis. Overexpression of ARNT2 enhanced the expression of osteogenic markers in MSCs, while its suppression led to a decrease in osteogenic marker expression. Protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed that ARNT2 interacts with Hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A), B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6), Ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 7 (USP7), and Single-minded homolog 2 (SIM2), which are implicated in the regulation of MSCs osteogenesis. In summary, fourteen hub genes were identified as potential regulators in the osteo-adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Among them, ARNT2 was confirmed to promote osteogenesis in MSCs and exhibited potential as a therapeutic target for bone-related diseases.
