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

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by bone microstructural degeneration and increased fracture risk, primarily driven by an imbalance in bone homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that lactate metabolic remodeling and its derived lactylation modifications play a pivotal role in the dynamic balance between bone formation and resorption by regulating the metabolic-epigenetic network within the bone microenvironment. This review systematically examines the role of lactate metabolic pathways in the energy reprogramming of osteoblasts, analyzes the molecular mechanisms of lactylation in osteogenesis-osteoclastogenesis coupling, and discusses the challenges and future directions of novel therapeutic strategies targeting the lactate metabolism axis. By elucidating the critical role of lactate metabolism in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, this review aims to enhance comprehensive understanding and facilitate the development of effective therapeutic interventions.
