Changes in bone metabolism dynamics in response to mechanical stress under pulmonary emphysema.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThere are many risk factors for fractures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, and investigating the effects of any particular factor on bones is extremely difficult. We hypothesized that the presence of pulmonary emphysema would delay the recovery of bone mass by reloading after unloading, and our study aimed to assess changes in bone metabolism dynamics in response to mechanical stress under pulmonary emphysema in model mice. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used C57BL/6J mice, with or without emphysema, via intratracheal administration of elastase or vehicle. Half of these mice underwent 1 week of hindlimb unloading followed by reloading, with bone assessed by μCT and histomorphometry.
resultsMice without emphysema exhibited transient bone loss, with bone mass fully recovering by week 3 after unloading, driven by a robust rebound in bone formation. Conversely, mice with emphysema showed a delay in the response of bone metabolism dynamics to mechanical stress; bone loss due to unloading were delayed by week 3 after unloading and bone recovery due to reloading by week 6.
conclusionsSlow changes in bone metabolism dynamics were observed during both unloading and reloading in mice with elastase-induced emphysema. The mechanism underlying these phenomena is unclear and requires further investigation.
