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

Evidence indicating that inflammation is commonly associated with ectopic osteogenesis in certain autoimmune and infectious conditions challenges the dogma that inflammatory responses always suppress bone formation. In this study, we find that systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mice causes not only inflammation in bone marrow, as expected, but also stimulates periosteal bone formation. This response can be reproduced in vitro as bone marrow supernatants from LPS-treated mice induce robust osteogenesis of osteoprogenitors compared to supernatants from PBS-treated counterparts. Periosteal bone accrual is partly dependent on periosteal leptin receptor-positive (LepR)+ osteoprogenitors but not bone marrow LepR+ or adiponectin (Adq)+ osteoprogenitors and correlates with pyroptosis within bone marrow. Consistent with the dependence of periosteal osteogenesis on pyroptosis, this response is slightly attenuated in Nlrp3-/- or caspase-1-/- mice but significantly inhibited in caspase-11-/-, caspase-1-/-;caspase-11-/-, or Gsdmd-/- mice. Our study reveals a novel role for pyroptosis in which lysed cells release intracellular contents that stimulate osteoprogenitors and promote osteogenic differentiation within the periosteal compartment.
