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.

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare, disabling skeletal disease for which there are no established treatments. Growing evidence supports inhibiting the osteoclastogenic factor receptor activator of nuclear kappa-B ligand (RANKL) as a potential treatment strategy. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying RANKL inhibition in FD tissue and its likely indirect effects on osteoprogenitors by evaluating human FD tissue pre- and post-treatment in a phase 2 clinical trial of denosumab (NCT03571191) and in murine in vivo and ex vivo preclinical models. Histological analysis of human and mouse tissue demonstrated increased osteogenic maturation, reduced cellularity, and reduced expression of the pathogenic Gα
