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

Unidirectional porous hydroxyapatite (UDPHAp) bone substitute comprises a microstructure of cross-sectionally oval pores with diameters ranging from 30 to 300 µm. Bone remodeling within the UDPHAp is expected upon implantation into bone; however, the mechanism and factors influencing this bone growth remain unclear. The objectives of the present study were to assess the vasculature and microstructure of newly formed bone and to determine how bone formation is affected by load transfer and UDPHAp pore size. Formation of osteon-like structures, defined by the presence of lacunae, canaliculi and a central lumen containing capillaries, was observed within the implanted UDPHAp material in all animals after six weeks. The number of osteocytes and osteon-like structures in areas adjacent to the cortex of recipient bone was significantly higher than in areas next to the medullary cavity throughout the recovery period. Notably, osteon-like structures tended to form in smaller diameter pores. Continuous bone remodeling might be promoted by the rapid formation of unidirectional capillaries and the osteocyte lacunae-canalicular system. Load transfer and smaller pore size could positively affect cortical bone regeneration. © 2018 The Authors Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
