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

backgroundOsteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head is a devastating disease affecting young patients at their most productive age, causing major socioeconomic burdens. ON is associated with various etiologic factors, and the pathogenesis of the disease is unknown. Most investigators believe the disease is the result of secondary microvascular compromise with subsequent bone and marrow cell death and defective bone repair. QUESTIONS/HYPOTHESES: We hypothesize that local delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6), which induces angiogenesis and osteogenesis respectively, will reverse the disease process and provide a treatment for precollapse ON. METHOD OF STUDY: We will use genetically engineered bone marrow stem cells, carrying VEGF and BMP-6 genes, to enhance angiogenesis and osteogenesis in necrotic bone of an animal model, by local delivery of growth factor in addition to the bone-forming property of the stem cells. The participation, localization, and fate of the stem cells in the repair process will be evaluated by tracing marker-gene product. Osteogenesis and angiogenesis will be assessed using high-resolution xray CT and immunohistomorphometry quantitatively. Mechanical properties of the repair tissue will be determined using an indentation test of the femoral head. SIGNIFICANCE: We envision that a deliverable or injectable bone graft substitute containing engineered stem cells and therapeutic growth factors will be developed through this proposed study and will provide a much needed treatment for ON.
