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

The bidirectional communication between the liver and bone profoundly influences the development and progression of both liver and bone diseases and significantly affects systemic homeostasis. Through the metabolic and immune crosstalk mediated by hepatokines, osteokines, extracellular vesicles, gut microbiota, and neuroendocrine factors, the liver-bone axis not only affects the progression from chronic liver disease to liver cancer but also modulates the balance of bone formation and resorption as well as bone marrow homeostasis. Furthermore, a dysfunctional liver-bone axis can lead to systemic complications characterized by dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiological changes induced by the dysregulated liver-bone axis and elucidate the specific mediating factors and mechanisms involved. We also summarize the current efforts in translating the liver-bone axis into clinical applications, aiming to provide potential therapeutic strategies for liver and bone diseases.
