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

Reversing the destructive remodeling of the bone marrow microenvironment during aging remains a major challenge. Here, we reveal an age-dependent dual role of bone marrow macrophage (BMM) STING signaling during skeletal aging. While BMM STING deficiency is detrimental during early bone development and maturation, it paradoxically confers protection against age-related bone loss from middle age onward. Mechanistically, accumulating bone marrow adipocytes secrete substantial soluble dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (sDPP4). This sDPP4 functions as an extracellular ligand for Toll-like receptor 4 on BMMs, thereby collaborating with endogenous mitochondrial DNA to activate STING signaling. This STING activation concurrently induces a CD38-dependent salvage synthesis pathway. Importantly, this STING-driven upregulation of CD38 not only amplifies bone marrow inflammation but also, through its ecto-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD
