Critical signaling pathways in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption: mechanisms and therapeutic implications for periprosthetic osteolysis.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
Bone homeostasis is dynamically regulated by the balance between osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-driven bone formation. Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO), a major complication following joint arthroplasty, occurs when excessive bone resorption surpasses formation, leading to implant loosening and failure. Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal roles of the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling, and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) cascades in osteoclast differentiation and pathological bone resorption. This review systematically explores the molecular mechanisms by which these pathways regulate osteoclastogenesis and their pathological contributions to PPO. Specifically, we analyze how wear particle-induced inflammation reprograms these signaling networks to exacerbate osteolytic activity. Furthermore, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways, including pharmacological inhibitors, gene therapy, and dual-target interventions, to restore bone homeostasis. By integrating recent advances in osteoimmunology and translational research, this work provides a comprehensive framework for understanding PPO pathogenesis and developing precision therapies.
