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

objectiveCompare the percentage of bone neoformation promoted by autologous bone grafting and three kinds of replacement materials with different characteristics in rats' femoral holes.

methodsTwo holes measuring 5.4×2.7mm, were produced on each femur (right and left) of 14 isogenic Wistar rats. Each of the four defects produced was filled by autologous bone or by one of three tested materials-hydroxyapatite (HA), Genphos(®) (HA+ β-TCP) and GenMix(®) (a combined bovine bone graft). In the end of the 6-week (n = 6) and 12-week (n = 8) periods, the animals were sacrificed. The sections (stained with Picro-Sirius) were assessed by optical microscopy and specific software.

resultsThe groups with autologous bone were shown to be significantly superior to the others at both assessed times, showing a mean bone formation rate ± SD of 90.6 ± 10.8% in six weeks, and 98 ± 9.2% in 12 weeks (p > 0.0001 for both assessed times). In six weeks, the results for the other groups were the following: Genphos(®), 46 ± 7.1%; HA, 43.1 ± 8.4%; and GenMix(®), 57.3 ± 4.5%. In 12 weeks: Genphos(®), 47.8 ± 11.1%; HA, 39.9 ± 5.4%; GenMix(®), 59.7 ± 4.8%, significant (p = 0.007).

conclusionsIn both assessed times, the three bone replacement materials tested in the study showed to be inferior to autologous bone graft for bone neoformation percentage.
