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

Alveolar cleft is the most common congenital bone defect. Autologous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) is the most widely adopted procedure for alveolar cleft repair, but the condition is associated with door-site morbidities. For the first time, this study used bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) combined with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules to repair alveolar bone defect. The effectiveness of this technique was compared with autologous ICBG after 12 months of follow-up. The bone formation volume was quantitatively evaluated by three-dimensional computed tomography and computer aided engineering technology. BMMNCs/β-TCP granule grafting was radiographically equivalent to ICBG in alveolar cleft repair. Although considerable resorption was observed up to 6 months after surgery, no significant differences were noted in the Chelsea score and bone formation volume between groups. These finding indicate that BMMNCs/β-TCP grafting is a safe and effective approach for alveolar bone regeneration.
