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

Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) plays an important role in regulating the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of cells. However, the role of FGF7 in bone formation is not yet fully understood. We examined the effect of FGF7 on bone formation using a rat model of mandible defects. Rats underwent mandible defect surgery and then either scaffold treatment alone (control group) or FGF7-impregnated scaffold treatment (FGF7 group). Micro-CT and histological analyses revealed that the FGF7 group exhibited greater bone formation than did the control group 10 weeks after surgery. With the exception of total porosity (%), all bone parameters had higher values in the FGF7 group than in the control group at each follow-up after surgery. The FGF7 group showed greater expression of osteogenic markers, such as runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, osteocalcin, bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteopontin, and type I collagen in newly formed bone than did the control group. The delivery of FGF7 also increased the messenger RNA expression of stromal-cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and CXCR4 in newly formed bone in the FGF7 group compared with the control group. Further, addition of exogenous FGF7 induced migration of rat bone marrow stromal cells and increased the expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in the cells. Furthermore, the addition of FGF7 augmented mineralization in the cells with increased expression of osteogenic markers, and this augmentation was significantly suppressed by an inhibitor specific for c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SP600125) or extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (PD98059). Collectively, these results suggest that local delivery of FGF7 increases bone formation in a mandible defect with enhanced osteogenesis and chemoattraction.
