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

introductionThis study aimed to systematically assess the impact of compressive stress on the growth of osteoblasts and osteoclasts through a meta-analysis of existing literature. The focus was on understanding how compressive stress affects cell proliferation, differentiation, and overall bone metabolism.

methodsA comprehensive Literature search was conducted in multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and ScienceDirect, to identify studies published between January 2000 and April 2025. The selection criteria focused on experimental studies examining the effects of compressive stress on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Data from 16 high-quality studies were extracted and analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and R 4.1.4, with subgroup analyses based on study type, stress type, and cell response.

resultsThe meta-analysis found a significant positive effect of compressive stress on the growth of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In vitro studies demonstrated a stronger and more consistent effect compared to animal studies. Osteoblasts responded more significantly to compressive stress than osteoclasts. Different stress types, including compression stress and fluid shear stress, showed varying levels of impact, with compression stress having the most pronounced effects on cell growth. DISCUSSION: Compressive stress plays a critical role in promoting osteoblast and osteoclast growth, which has implications for bone health and metabolism. These findings highlight the potential of compressive stress as a therapeutic tool for bone-related conditions. Further research is needed to explore the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of compressive stress in treating bone diseases.
