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

This study sought to evaluate the inhibitory effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy on bone resorption in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoporosis. A total of 40 mice were divided into four groups: control, LPS, LPS + alendronate, and LPS + PEMF. Blood and spleen samples were analyzed using RT-PCR and ELISA, while calvaria and femurs were assessed by micro-computed tomography (CT) and histological analysis. Serum analysis revealed that, compared with the control group, calcium levels in the PEMF group showed no significant difference, but alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were significantly increased, whereas tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) levels were significantly decreased. Moreover, blood cytokine analysis showed reduced expression of TNF-α and IL-1β and increased expression of BMP-2 in the PEMF group. Spleen tissue analysis further demonstrated significant upregulation of IFN-γ and IL-10 expression in the PEMF group. Micro-CT confirmed that PEMF inhibited femoral bone loss and promoted bone regeneration in calvarial defects. Histological evaluation with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson-Goldner trichrome staining confirmed enhanced bone formation in both the femur and calvaria. In conclusion, PEMF effectively alleviates bone loss and promotes bone regeneration in LPS-induced osteoporosis. Furthermore, PEMF exhibits anti-osteoclastogenic activity by reducing inflammatory cytokines and enhancing IFN-γ and IL-10 expression in the spleen.
