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

Bone substitutes are used to supplement or substitute autogenous transplantation of cancellous bone. These materials should provide a scaffold structure and support bone healing alone or in combination with other substances. In trauma surgery the indication for use of bone substitutes lies mostly in filling of small metaphyseal cancellous bone defects with high vascularization following fracture. In comparison to transplantation of cancellous bone, the advantages of bone substitutes are sufficient availability without additional donor site morbidity. Moreover, biomaterials can be stored, also ensuring ready availability. This educational article gives an overview of bone substitutes currently in clinical use.
