Icariside II protects from marrow adipose tissue (MAT) expansion in estrogen-deficient mice by targeting S100A16.

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
Icariside II, a flavonoid glycoside, is the main component found invivo after the administration of Herba epimedii and has shown some pharmacological effects, such as prevention of osteoporosis and enhancement of immunity. Increased levels of marrow adipose tissue are associated with osteoporosis. S100 calcium-binding protein A16 (S100A16) promotes the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into adipocytes. This study aimed to confirm the anti-lipidogenesis effect of Icariside II in the bone marrow by inhibiting S100A16 expression. We used ovariectomy (OVX) and BMSC models. The results showed that Icariside II reduced bone marrow fat content and inhibited BMSCs adipogenic differentiation and S100A16 expression, which correlated with lipogenesis. Overexpression of S100A16 eliminated the inhibitory effect of Icariside II on lipid formation. β-catenin participated in the regulation adipogenesis mediated by Icariside II/S100A16 in the bone. In conclusion, Icariside II protects against OVX-induced bone marrow adipogenesis by downregulating S100A16, in which β-catenin might also be involved.
