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: Systemic inflammation impairs bone health by inhibiting the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), thereby contributing to bone loss. Diallyl disulfide (DADS), a natural compound with anti-inflammatory properties, was investigated for its ability to mitigate inflammatory bone loss (IBL), reverse LPS-induced suppression of osteogenic differentiation, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: An LPS-induced mouse model of IBL was used to evaluate the effects of DADS by micro-CT, histological and immunohistochemical staining, and serum ELISA. An in vitro model was established by exposing BMSCs to LPS. The optimal concentration of DADS was determined using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining, immunofluorescence, and Western blot. Network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing were employed to identify potential therapeutic mechanisms, and the PI3K/AKT pathway was verified using the inhibitor LY294002. Results: Micro-CT and histological analyses confirmed that DADS attenuated bone loss in the IBL mouse model. Toluidine blue staining and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that DADS promoted osteogenic differentiation. Immunohistochemical detection and serum ELISA of inflammatory cytokines revealed that DADS significantly reduced inflammatory levels in IBL mice. In vitro, the LPS-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs was reversed by DADS. Following DADS treatment, elevated ALP activity, matrix mineralization, and osteogenic marker expression, and reducing inflammatory mediators were observed. Network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing revealed that DADS may exert its effects through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Subsequent experiments conclusively established that DADS activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The osteogenic differentiation induced by DADS was inhibited by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002, indicating that the PI3K/AKT pathway is crucial in the osteogenic differentiation promoted by DADS. Conclusion: DADS counteracts LPS-induced bone loss by promoting osteogenic differentiation via PI3K/AKT activation, highlighting its therapeutic potential for inflammatory bone diseases.
