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

Background: RANKL and SCLEROSTIN antibodies have provided a strong effective choice for treating osteoporosis in the past years, which suggested novel molecular target identification and therapeutic strategies development are important for the treatment of osteoporosis. The therapeutic effect of verapamil, a drug previously used for cardiovascular diseases, on diabetes was due to the inhibition of TXNIP expression, which has also been reported as a target in mice osteoporosis. Whether verapamil-inhibited TXNIP expression is related to osteoporosis and how it works on the molecular level is worthy to be explored. Methods: The polymorphism genotyping analysis was performed on patients with different degrees of osteoporosis. The responsiveness of bone marrow-derived macrophage cells (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) to verapamil was evaluated by CCK-8, TRAP staining assay (ALP and AR staining assay), Bone Resorption Assay, and RNA-Sequencing. The expression and cytoplasmic efflux of ChREBP were determined by western blotting and immunofluorescence. Bilateral ovariectomy models were created, rescued by verapamil injection and the effectiveness was evaluated by Micro-CT and Histological analysis. Results: Here we discovered that rs7211 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of Conclusions: The results of our study show the correlation of rs7211 The translational potential of this article: The inhibition of Txnip by verapamil in osteoclasts and osteoblasts leads to low bone turnover and reduced bilateral ovariectomy-induced mice bone loss, which points out its great clinical translation potential on postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment.
