Review in International orthopaedics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Prostaglandins, PGE(2) in particular, have diverse actions on various organs, including inflammation, bone healing, bone formation, embryo implantation, induction of labour and vasodilatation, among others. However, systemic side effects have limited their clinical utility. The pharmacological activities of PGE(2) are mediated through four G protein-coupled receptor subtypes, EP1-EP4. Recent studies have shown that EP2 and EP4 receptors play important roles in regulating bone formation and resorption. EP2 and EP4 receptor-selective agonists have been shown to stimulate local or systemic bone formation, augment bone mass and accelerate the healing of fractures or bone defects in animal models upon local or systemic administration, thus, potentially offering new therapeutic options for enhancing bone formation and bone repair in humans. This review will focus on the studies related to bone formation and bone healing in the EP receptor knockout (KO) mice and the EP2 or EP4 receptor-selective agonist treated animal models.
