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

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a 17-kDa cytokine produced by stimulated macrophages/monocytes, modulates the functions of a variety of cells and has been shown to induce bone resorption in vitro. However, the effects that TNF-alpha may have on the process of bone formation are not completely understood. In order to study the effects of TNF-alpha on matrix development and mineralization, we utilized a human osteoblastic cell line, HOS TE85. Our results show that HOS TE85, which has been shown to be responsive to hormones active on normal osteoblasts, forms an extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) that mineralizes during extended culture. Treatment during the development of the matrix with TNF-alpha has little effect on cell number and DNA synthesis, showing thereby that TNF-alpha is not cytotoxic to the cells. However, TNF-alpha inhibits the formation of alkaline phosphatase (AP)-positive foci in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 0.1-10 ng/ml. TNF-alpha treatment caused a significant decrease in the incorporation of collagen into the developing matrix. In addition, TNF-alpha treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the synthesis of AP by HOS TE85 cells during the process of ECM formation and resulted in a pronounced lack of mineralization of the ECM. These results indicate that TNF-alpha may be acting as an uncoupler by decreasing the synthesis and incorporation of proteins required for bone formation, and inhibiting matrix formation and mineralization in vitro.
