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 (OP) is increasingly recognised as a disorder driven by impaired lineage allocation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), characterised by a shift from osteogenesis toward adipogenesis under conditions such as oestrogen deficiency and oxidative stress. Although gut microbiota‑derived metabolites have emerged as critical regulators of skeletal homeostasis, their direct role in BMSC fate determination remains poorly understood. In the present study, indole‑3‑propionic acid (IPA) was identified, a metabolite produced by
