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

backgroundAlternative grafts are needed to improve the healing of bone non-union. Here, we assessed a bovine bone product which retains the inorganic and organic components of bone, as an alternative bone graft.

methodsBovine bone matrix proteins (BBMPs) were isolated from bovine bone particulates (BBPs) and tested in vitro. Primary rat osteoblast viability, differentiation, and mineralisation were assessed with alamarBlue®, real-time PCR, and von Kossa staining assays, respectively. Osteoclast formation was assessed in primary murine bone marrow cultures with TRAP staining. Human osteoblast growth and differentiation in the presence of BBPs was evaluated in 3D collagen gels in vitro using alamarBlue® and real-time PCR, respectively. The efficacy of BBPs as an alternative bone graft was tested in a rat critical-size calvarial defect model, with histology scored at 4 and 12 weeks post-surgery.

resultsIn vitro, the highest concentration of BBMPs increased mineral deposition five-fold compared to the untreated control group (P < 0.05); enhanced the expression of key osteoblast genes encoding for RUNX2, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin (P < 0.05); and decreased osteoclast formation three-fold, compared to the untreated control group (P < 0.05). However, the BBPs had no effect on primary human osteoblasts in vitro, and in vivo, no difference was found in healing between the BBP-treated group and the untreated control group.

conclusionsOverall, despite the positive effects of the BBMPs on the cells of the bone, the bovine bone product as a whole did not enhance bone healing. Finding a way to harness the positive effect of these BBMPs would provide a clear benefit for healing bone non-union.
