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

purposeThis study investigated whether Escherichia coli-derived bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 (E-BMP-2) adsorbed onto β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules can induce bone regeneration in critical-size femoral segmental defects in rabbits.

methodsBone defects 20 mm in size and stabilized with an external fixator were created in the femur of New Zealand white rabbits, which were divided into BMP-2 and control groups. E-BMP-2-loaded β-TCP granules were implanted into defects of the BMP-2 group, whereas defects in the controls were implanted with β-TCP granules alone. At 12 and 24 weeks after surgery, radiographs were obtained of the femurs and histological and biomechanical assessments of the defect area were performed. Bone regeneration was quantified using micro-computed tomography at 24 weeks.

resultsRadiographic and histologic analyses revealed bone regeneration in the BMP-2 group but not the control group; no fracturing of newly formed bone occurred when the external fixator was removed at 12 weeks. At 24 weeks, tissue mineral density, the ratio of bone volume to total volume, and volumetric bone mineral density of the callus were higher in the BMP-2 group than in control animals. In the former, ultimate stress, extrinsic stiffness, and failure energy measurements for the femurs were higher at 24 weeks than at 12 weeks.

conclusionE-BMP-2-loaded β-TCP granules can effectively promote bone regeneration in long bone defects.
