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

Periosteum contains abundant Ctsk-lineage skeletal stem cells (P-SSCs) that are key drivers of intramembranous ossification during bone development and maintenance. However, P-SSCs regenerate fractured bones by mediating endochondral ossification, raising the question of whether distinct P-SSCs subsets separately mediate steady-state bone formation and fracture repair. Here we uncover the heterogeneity of P-SSCs, identifying an Angptl7-expressing quiescent P-SSCs subset, which is restricted to the fibrous-layer of periosteum and barely contributes to postnatal bone development. After bone fracture, these cells largely contribute to bone healing by dedicating to endochondral ossification, regenerating the entire bone architecture. Dysfunction of Angptl7-lineage P-SSCs strongly impairs the bone healing process but does not affect steady-state bone formation. Multimodal analysis reveals that these cells can be immediately activated under the regulation of TNF-α/NF-κB signaling, subsequently acquiring osteogenic capacity. Together, our findings unravel an injury-specified P-SSCs subpopulation, providing a model that there are tissue-resident stem cells specialized for injury repair, while parallel stem cells maintain homeostasis.
