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
BMP2 serves as a pivotal regulator of skeletal development, homeostasis, and repair. Previously, we demonstrated that Gαi1/3 (G protein subunit alpha i1/3) is not only involved in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal transduction but also acts as a key mediator of tyrosine kinase receptor signaling. However, its role in bone formation and BMP2 signaling remains elusive. In this study, we report that the expression of Gαi1/3 is significantly downregulated in the bone tissue of patients with senile osteoporosis. Gαi1/3 double knockout mice exhibited delayed skeletal development and reduced bone mass. Mechanistically, Gαi1/3 is required for BMP2 signal transduction, as its deletion impaired BMP2 downstream signaling. In BMSCs (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells), Gαi1/3 knockout suppressed BMP2-induced osteogenesis, while overexpression enhanced it. In the femoral fracture model, knockdown of Gαi1/3 in BMSCs reduced the ability of BMP2 to promote fracture healing. Furthermore, in neonatal mice with conditional knockout of Gαi1/3 in BMSCs, skeletal development was delayed. Gab1 is indispensable for Gαi1/3-mediated BMP2 signaling, as Gαi1/3 binds to both the BMP2 receptor and Gab1 to mediate BMP2 biological function. Collectively, our findings reveal the critical role of the Gαi1/3-Gab1 axis in BMP2 signaling and osteogenesis, providing potential therapeutic targets for osteoporosis and bone repair.
