Historic and current strategies in bone tissue engineering: do we have a hope in Hench?
Article in Journal of materials science. Materials in medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Professors Larry Hench and Julia Polak formed the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Centre (TERM) at Imperial College London to foster collaborations between biologists and materials scientists. Early work at the center elucidated the biomolecular interactions between primary human osteoblasts and 45S5 Bioglass . As research efforts expanded, the team discovered that the dissolution products of both 45S5 Bioglass and 58S sol-gel bioactive glasses had osteoblastic stimulatory properties. To address the shortage of appropriate cells for bone tissue engineering applications, TERM scientists also demonstrated the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells to osteoblasts when treated with the dissolution products of bioactive glasses. They also found that the soluble factors ascorbic acid, beta -glycerophosphate, and dexamethasone preferentially differentiated ES cells to osteoblasts, and their combination with the dissolution products of bioactive glasses stimulated differentiation even further. Taken together, these results demonstrate the suitability of bioactive glasses as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering as they not only provide an osteoconductive and osteoproductive substrate, but also actively stimulate cells to express appropriate osteoblastic phenotypes. Professor Hench's vision to pioneer regenerative medicine research continues with the aim of developing novel therapeutics to treat musculoskeletal disability.
