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

Reproductive hormones associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis are closely linked to bone homeostasis. In this study, we demonstrate that Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH, one of the key reproductive hormones upstream of the HPG axis) plays an indispensable role in regulating bone homeostasis and maintaining bone mass. We find that deficiency of GnIH or its receptor Gpr147 leads to a significant reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) in mice primarily by enhancement of osteoclast activation in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, GnIH/Gpr147 inhibits osteoclastogenesis by the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB and Nfatc1 signaling pathways. Furthermore, GnIH treatment was able to alleviate bone loss in aging, ovariectomy (OVX) or LPS-induced mice. Moreover, the therapy using green light promotes the release of GnIH and rescues OVX-induced bone loss. In humans, serum GnIH increases and bone resorption markers decrease after green light exposure. Therefore, our study elucidates that GnIH plays an important role in maintaining bone homeostasis via modulating osteoclast differentiation and demonstrates the potential of GnIH therapy or green light therapy in preventing osteoporosis.
