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

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is currently the only FDA-approved anabolic drug to treat osteoporosis, and is systemically administered through daily injections. A new local pulsatile PTH delivery device was developed from biodegradable polymers to expand the application of PTH from systemic treatment to spatially controlled local bone defect regeneration in this work. This is the first time that local pulsatile PTH delivery has been demonstrated to promote bone regeneration via enhanced bone remodeling. The biodegradable delivery device was designed to locally deliver PTH in a preprogrammed pulsatile manner. The PTH delivery was utilized to facilitate the regeneration of a bone defect spatially defined with a cell-free biomimetic nanofibrous (NF) scaffold. The local pulsatile PTH delivery (daily pulse for 21 days) not only promoted the regeneration of a critical-sized bone defect with negligible systemic side effects in a mouse model, but also advantageously achieved higher quality regenerated bone than the standard systemic PTH injection. These results demonstrate a promising and novel pulsatile PTH delivery device for spatially defined local bone regeneration.
