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
purposeThe effects of caffeine on bone metabolism and orthodontic tooth movement are largely inconsistence. This study investigated the dual effect of caffeine on receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in RAW 264.7 cells and the role of adenosine receptors in these effects.
methodsRAW 264.7 cells were treated with RANKL with or without 1-300 μM of caffeine. Cell viability and the numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells were evaluated. The effect of caffeine on osteoclast activity was validated by bone resorption assays to measure the release of a fluorescent probe, resorption pit areas, and visualization by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The role of adenosine receptor (AR) subtypes in caffeine-, inducing or -inhibiting osteoclast differentiation were analyzed using AR antagonists.
resultsCaffeine at concentrations 1-100 μM did not affect cell viability. The number of TRAP positive cells, which represent osteoclast differentiation, increased with RANKL treatment and further increased with low concentrations of caffeine (1-10 µM). However, higher concentrations (30-300 µM) inhibited RANKL-induced TRAP formation. Similarly, the release of fluorescent probes and the formation of resorption pit areas, which represented osteoclast activity, increased at low concentrations and were reduced at high concentrations of caffeine. SEM micrographs demonstrated a pattern similar to the pit assay. In addition, the A
conclusionCaffeine has a dual effect depending on the concentration. At low concentrations, caffeine enhanced osteoclast differentiation and activity, while higher concentrations diminished osteoclastogenesis. The A
